Lal Shahbaz Qalander of Sindh
24 August 2008
Shahbaz Qalandar was born in Marwand to a dervish, Syed Ibrahim Kabiruddin whose ancestors migrated from Iraq and settled down in Mashhad, a center of learning and civilization, before migrating again to Marwand.
His dedication to the knowledge of various religious disciplines enabled him to eventually become a profound scholar. During his lifetime, he witnessed the Ghznavid and Ghurids rules in South Asia. He became fluent in many languages including Persian, Turkish, Arabic, Sindhi and Sanskrit. His mysticism attracted people from all religions. He was titled Lal (red) for his usual red attire, Shahbaz due to his noble and divine spirit, and ‘Qalandar’ for his sufism and saintly attitude. Hindus regarded him as the incarnation of Bhrithari.
He is also known affectionately as Jhulelal
(Neither the power of crowns and kings nor the might of armies equals the force of a Qalandar)
(I was utterly abashed by this word of the Qalandar: ‘If you bow down before an alien, you will not only be physical whackled but also be deprived of your mind and soul)
His annual Urs (death anniversary celebration) is held on the 18 Sha’aban – the eighth month of the Muslim lunar calendar. Thousands of devotees flock to the tomb while every Thursday their number stands multiplied especially at the time of his ‘Urs’ being a carnival as well a religious festival and celebrated every year. Sehwan springs to life and becomes the focal point of more than half a million pilgrims from all over Pakistan. On each morning of the three day feast, the narrow lanes of Sewhan are packed to capacity as thousands and thousands of pilgrims, fakirs and devotees make their way to the shrine to commune with the saint, offer their tributes and make a wish. Most of the people present garlands and a green chadar (a cloth used to cover a tomb) with Qur’anic inscriptions in silver or gold threads. Humming of verses, singing and dancing in praise of the saint continues till late at night. A devotional dance known as ‘dhamal’, being a frenzied and ecstatic swirl of the head and body, is a special ritual that is performed at the rhythmic beat of the [dhol] (a big barrel-shaped drum), some of them being of giant size and placed in the courtyard of the shrine. Bells, gongs, cymbals and horns make a thunderous din, and the dervishes, clad in long robes, beads, bracelets and colored head-bands whirl faster and faster in a hypnotic trance, until with a final deafening scream they run wildly through the doors of the shrine to the courtyard beyond.
Legends and Stories
On his way from Baluchistan to Sindh, he also stayed in present day Karachi’s Manghopir area for muraqba (meditation), and it is said that Manghopir’s natural warm fountain is a miracle of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar. That warm fountain started to flow from beneath the hill, on which Lal Shahbaz sat for muraqba (meditation). After passing hundreds of years, that warm fountain is still flowing continuously and is said to have miraculous healing power especially for asthma patients.
In Multan, Lal Shahbaz met Bahauddin Zachariah Multani of the Suhurwardiya order, Baba Farid Ganjshakar of Chishtiya order, and Makhdoom Jahanian Surkh Bukhari. The attachment was so cordial and spiritual that their friendship became legendary. They were known as Chahar Yar (Persian = four friends). According to some historians, the four friends visited various parts of Sindh and Punjab, in present day Pakistan.
Almost all the saints of Sindh including Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai, Makhdoom Bilawal, Sachal Sarmast and Qadir Bukhsh Bedal were devout followers of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar.,,,,
It is also believed that he turned into a falcon to pick up his friend Shaikh Farid Shakar Ganj from the gallows. The legend goes that the incumbent fakirs in Sewhan sent him a bowl of milk filled to the brim indicating that there was no room for anything more. But surprisingly, he returned the bowl with a beautiful flower floating on the top. This legend spread far and wide by the time of his death in 1274, after living a good span for 97 years
(The world is pleased with my traits of a Qalandar otherwise I know that my verses and my poetry are not so appealing)

How can we enrich our soul? By reading the message these saints left for us or by visiting their tomb to participate in the “URS”

Interesting post. I was just reading about Lal Shahbaz Qalandar last night. There’s an interesting legend about the Manghopir crocodiles that is also related to Lal Shahbaz. According to that legend, the crocs originated as lice in Lal Shahbaz Qalandar’s hair. He gave them to Manghopir as a gift. He placed them in the Manghopir pond and they turned into crocodiles.
Reporetedly, the largest gathering of fakeers in the world takes places at the annual urs in Sehwan. I would love to see that urs one day.
Irfan Saheb: Visiting the shrines and attending the Urs celebrations is symbolic, cathartic and cultural. The most important part is to internalise the message and the teachings of the Sufi poets.
Cubano: thanks for sharing this legend. I have also heard this one – do send me the reference. These traditions are oral and part of the cultural often allegorical stories that generations pass on.
I also wish to visit Sehwan –
I have listened to verses praising him, in Punjabi (various versions of ‘Dum Mast Qalandar’, performed by various artistes), which I like quite a bit.
I have visited many holy places in iraq, india and pakistan, honestly have to say sehwan shareef is the most amazing place in the world, the first time i went to the holy shrine of hazrat sahi lal shahbaaz qalandar(r.a) was 3 years ago , i have since been 8 times i have experienced so many amazing things if mentioned one would find hard to believe.
The urs mubarak is the best time to go to get the real feeling of what its like.
if anyone has any questions about the annual urs of the holy saint
please feel free to e-mail me at rizwanzaman@hotmail.com.

I’ve researched lot of features of Qalandar. These people have highest place in Sufism. You can say if Ghous is king of time then Qalandar is king of kings.
Allah gives them special powers; they can burst the sky and flat the earth in a matter of seconds.
Till now, 2.5 Qalandar arrived. Allah knows best what could be the reason of very few numbers. Based on powers, my Murshad said once, only one Qalandar is enough for entire era till Day of Judgment. But it his mercies that he has given such a powerful support in a form of 2.5 Qalandars to Sufis like us. Furthermore, one more Qalandar is expected in this century.

Islamic Sufi Saints : were basically Enlightened SCHOLARS. Starting from the Peeran-e-Pir Sheikh Abdul Qader Jilani., who was an eminent SCHOLAR., down to the various Sufi Saints mentioned in the above post. For instance Hz. Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi., or Sh. Faridduin Attar., or Hz. Imam Ghazali., or Hz. Ruzbihan Baqli…. these eminent men were Scholars., and followers of Islamic Shariat (the Path). But they were not rigid or dogmatic. Therein lies the secret : The eternal secret.
Mohammad = Mohabbat.
Once that is understood., one submits willingly., and in that submission finds eternal freedom. Easier said than done. Its an internal struggle. But to fall in love with Mohammed is KEY.
i love u very much

Qalandar ki kia bat he. Do lines quote krun ga sab bhaiyon k msgs mai se Qalandar ki shan bayan krne k lye:
1. Wali to insan ban jate hen par Qalandar sirf 2.5 bne hen
2. Only one Qalandar is enough for entire era till Day of Judgment. But it His (Allah’s) blessing that he has given such a powerful support in the form of 2.5 Qalandars to Sufis like us.
