20. Mulnu’d-dm was my preceptor, my steersman, and I served 
him. He crosseth speedily who hath the ferry-fare. 1 Before him 
was Shekh Burhan, who brought him on the path and gave him 
knowledge. His spiritual guide was the good Alhadad, who in the 
world was a light and beauteous in the faith. He was a disciple of 
Saiyad Muhammad. Who e’er enjoyed 2 * 4 * * * his fellowship, became a perfected 
man. To him did Dfmiyal point out the path, — Daniyal, wdio consorted 
with Hazrat Khwaja Kliizr. The Hazrat Khwaja was pleased with 
him, and brought him (as a disciple) to Saiyad RajI Hamid Shah. 
From him (Muluu’d-din) did I win all my (good) deeds. My tongue was 
loosened, 8 and, a poet, I (learned to) tell my tale. 1 
1 The fare was the service which the poet rendered his master. 
2 Lit. sported in his company. 
2 Lit. uncovered. 
4 The following account of Malik Muhammad’s spiritual ancestors is taken 
partly from what the poet himself tells us, and partly from the Urdu gloss and 
other sources. 
He belonged to the Cislitiyd Nizamiyd, that is to say he bolonged to tho spiri- 
tual descent which took its name from the celebrated Nizumu’d-din Auliyfi, the 
teacher of Amir KhusrS, who died about 1325 A. D. Ilis disciple was STraju’d-dln. 
whose disciple was Shaikh ‘Alau’l-haqq. ‘Alau’l-haqq’s son and disciple was Shaikh 
Nur Qutb ‘Alam (d. 1144) of Pandul, and another disciple was Saiyad Asliraf Jahan- 
gir (see 18, 1.) Ashraf’s most famous disciple was Shaikh Haji, whose disciples 
were Shaikh Mubarak, and Shaikh Kamal. Shaikh Nur Qutb ‘Alam and Saiyad 
Ashraf Jahangir were fellow disciples (pir bhai,) and from them eighth in descent 
came Malik Muhammad. (FI. 1540 A. D.)
