Ziarat or tahleel 2010

Ziarat or tahleel was held on 1/4/2010:
This is the final day of URS celebrations.
At around 11am, Khalifas all along with the murideen started to sandal ghar , from there they participated in a procession with Small sandal bowl. This is infamously known as the day of Murideens, as Mureeds demonstrate  respective cultural and traditional activities. Some demonstrate LAKDI KA PHERA, some demonstrate actions of KUSHTI all along tashas, some do raks , and some dance out of sheer joy. All the devotees of all the ages  took part and they did not care the heat around 40degrees celcius. From some point it was also as if sun was also trying to witness the happenings of the procession, as all other processions tookpart in moon light.
Julus reached Darga shareef at around 1:50pm. Khalifas stood infront of the shrine. It seems as if they were looking for something. They were waiting for someone. Later same state was seen in murideen. They were all waitng for the sajjada nasheen HIS HOLINESS Sufi saint ALHAJ SYEDI AL SHAIK ZAHIRUDDIN SHA KHA DRI hifzullahi taala precence.
Finally the time has come, for which the khallifas were waitng
Parwanas were waiting, Deewanas  were waiting, Ishq ke mare were waitng
An i20 car arrived, suddenly a silence was felt around.
All eyes turned towards the vehicle
Khalifa Dastagir saheb was in to tears and moved near to the car alongwith the Khalifa moulana saheb.
As the front door of the car opened, Murideens joy was out of the world by the nazara.
The best of nazara in this world
The nazara for which eyes were striving, The nazara for which heart was striving
The nazara for which soul was striving
The shama of parvanas, Ishq ke maaron ka manzile ishq, Becharon ka chaara,
Gam ke maaron ka gamkhwar, Baqshish ka saama, kishti e nooh, Salaar e khafila,
Imamul AARIFEEN val muttaqeen
HIS HOLINESS Sufi saint ALHAJ SYEDI AL SHAIK ZAHIRUDDIN SHA KHA DRI hifzullahi taala ka nazaara
“SHAMA KO PARWANA, BUL BUL KO PHOOL  BAS
BU BAKR KE LIYE ALLAH KA RASOOL  BAS (Allama iqbal)
HUM AASHIQON KE LIYE ZAHIR PIA KA EK NAZARA  BAS”
Bekhud kiye dete hain  Andaaze hijaabana
AA dil mein tujhe rakhlun, aey jalwae jaanaana
Jee chahta hai tohfe mein bhejun unhen Aankhen
Darshan ka to darshan ho,  Nazrane ka nazrana
Sange dare jaana par karta hun jabeen saayee
Sajda na samajh najdi , sar deta hun nazraana
Itna to karam karna , Aey nazre kareemaana
Jab jaan labon par ho, tum saamne aajaana  (Kalaame BEDAM warsi)
When the sufi saint entered sahan of darga murideen started crying, doing raks, some were in state of wajd. All tried to have paabosi, but understanding the uncontrollable situation gaffaria youth formed human chain around the sufi saint and avoided people. Khalifa moulana saheb took of his garland and with the flowers of the garland he welcomed or to say escorted sufi saint in to darga by placing the flowers under his holy feet.
All the khalifas Dastagir saheb, Moulana saheb, Ghousepak saheb, Zia saheb, Sarfaraz saheb, Ismail saheb and kids of his gharana viz faizan and fayaz entered the shrine all along the side of sufi saint.

Later he was fecilitated on GADDENASHEEN for a short while. After blessing the people he moved back to his residence. Until the sufi saint was there in the Darga premises, unexplainable spiritual change experienced.
