Farid Al- din Attar is considered one of the preeminent mystical poets of the Persian Literary tradition. The duration of his life is uncertain, though he can be placed in the 12th and 13th centuries c. e. born in Nishapur in what is today Iran, Attar apparently was a pharmacist, but little information about his personal life is known. During his lifetime he is believed to have written approximately 9 books, including such famous works as the Manteq Al- Tayr ( the conference of the birds) and the Ilahi- Nama (the book of god) . Muslim Saints and Mystics is an abridgement, translated by A. J. Arberry, of Attar' s only known prose work: Tadhkirat Al- Auliya ( the memorial of the saints) , which he worked on throughout much of his life and which was available publicly before his death. In what is considered the most compelling entry in this book, attar relates the story of the execution of Hallaj, the mystic who had uttered the words “ I am the truth” in a state of ecstatic contemplation.

Guinness World Records may at its discretion and for whatever reason identify some records as either no longer monitored by Guinness World Records or no longer viable.

3 Poems
Please find my 3 poems which are as follows and these are well known and famous since my college days and which were already published in the A.U. College Magazine of Hyderabad and now I have added these Poems in this book.
The Taj Mahal
In the darkness of night
I visited the tomb of white
Full beautiful in the glorious moon light
Shah Jahan’s love and Mumtaz’s beauty
Making fun of today’s love and poverty
No-one leaves without feelings of beauty
After seeing the Taj Mahal’s majesty
The Taj was reminding me the duty of love
And showing the king’s power of love
Even today in the darkness of strife
The Taj is preaching a lesson of love and life.
By Mohammed Abdul Hafeez, B. Com.
-------------------------------------------------------
In Thy memory
Her death day came with the fragrance of loving memories
Which shaken the depth of our saddest loving memories
Even the seasonal changes and other worldly affairs
Could not diminish away her saddest loving memories
Due to the saddest grief, our souls are broken
We are worldly losers and our hearts are broken
Oh : her saddest memories you must not die
Guide us to cover the deliverances of the world
Oh : the heavenly Lord takes Thou care of this beloved soul
Who never faced any worldly peace and pleasure.
By Mohammed Abdul Hafeez, B. Com.
------------------------------------------------------
The Dim flame
When the flame of her life was going to dim
No one of us not there to say goodbye
It is how painful for our whole lives
That we cannot see her at death time
Death is sure for every human beings
But how her strange death was indeed?
Her loving relatives were far from her
And they cannot reach for the last visit
We should believe in the heavenly Lord
Who made our vast and great human land
Sure she has gained a position in the grave land
So, We should not worry Allah is great and known.
By Mohammed Abdul Hafeez, B. Com.

The author wept too much at the Qazipet shrine grave yard
The author upon his return from his service of the foreign country visited Qazipet after a gap of many years the grave of his grandfather and grandmother at Qazipet recently in the month of May 2014.
When he visited the grave of his grandfather, which is under a big Neem tree and its shed is spread over large areas of the graveyard and my grandmother’s grave is situated beside the grave of my grandfather. Both graves are well maintained so are available in the good condition.
As the both graves are under the big old Neem tree so there is too much shade as well as so much cold and peaceful atmosphere as well as comfort is available there. So an atmosphere of peace and comfort is available there too much due to the coolness of the branches of Neem tree which is prevailing in the grave yard.So for this reason of the atmosphere of coolness and peace condition is there so for this reason there will be thinking arise there that both of them living in the peaceful condition.
However the author wept too much there because our grandfather who was administrator of the shrine of Qazipet for many years and our grandmother who lived in Qazipet village for many years and she did many endeavour and she helped many needy women and children there so now both of them are buried in the graveyard of Qazipet shrine and nobody is not there in the village to visit them from their lineage but many unknown visitors are visiting their graves there and I have personally seen many flowers on the graves which were placed by those unknown persons.
Connection of the author’s family members with Kazipet.
When my grand dad Sheikh Dadan reached Kazipet Jagir on his transfer from another place and he was attracted by the teachings of Sufi Center at Kazipet Jagir during the period of Hazrat Syed Shah Sarwar Biabani Radi Allahu anhu the successor and son of great Sufi master Hazrat Syed Shah Afzal Biabani Radi Allahu anhu. When my grand dad became his disciple and he left immediately the following things.
1 .He left his superior job in the police department. 2. He left his native place of Medak. 3. He left his big house in Medak.
Due to the kindness and favour of Hazrat Syed Shah Ghulam Biabani Radi Allahu anhu my granddad had got the job of estate administrator of Dargah Sharif and a plot of land of 1000 yards from the centre of Kazipet village. On this plot my granddad had constructed a big house (Gulshan Manzil) on 500 yards and one big garden on 500 yards.

I enjoy doing translation of Sufi works and my translated first episode are available with the following publication note of Mr. David Rosenbaum of New York Times which is available on the above mentioned famous U.S.A. website.
At Kazipet Jagir my dad Mohammed Afzal and my brother Mohammed Abdus Samad and Me Mohammed Abdul Hafeez and my sister Meher Unisa were born there. In Kazipet my father married to Akthar Begum, daughter of Mr. Abdul Majeed of Bidar district who was working at that time in the education department as an education officer. After many years of service at Kazipet Dargah Sharif (shrine ) with great fame and good name my granddad passed away and upon his death our big house was deserted as all members of our family migrated to Hyderabad and some other places but my grand mom stayed in the big lonely house with her maidservant as she never think to leave the place of his great Sufi master . Upon living many years there she had been shifted to Hyderabad when she became ill due to the fracture of her foot but due to her great love for the great Sufi Center at Kazipet upon her death we had taken her dead body to Kazipet from Hyderabad and she was buried at the back side of the tomb of her Murshid (spiritual master) Syed Shah Sarwar Biabani. R. A.
During the 1986 I had tried my best to re-settle my family members from Hyderabad to Kazipet Jagir but I was not successful in this matter as my son's (Mohammed Abdul Wasi Rabbani) application for admission in St. Gabriel school Fatima Nagar was not accepted there due to late submission. We are staying in Hyderabad with our family members but we never miss any chance to visit the holy shrine of Hazrat Syed Shah Afzal Biabani R. A. and Hazrat Syed Shah Sarwar Biabani R.A. at Kazipet Jagir on regular basis.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An event of the theft during the service of period of my grandfather at Qazipet shrine
During the period of Syed Shah Ghulam Afzal Biyabani this event was happening. At that time there was a grant of Rupees fifty towards the salaries of the staff of Noban Khana (the place from where time is announced by the beat of the drum) in which there were some staff members used to work there and it was headed by the supervisor. By the government of H.E.H.The Nizam of Hyderabad there was every month the royal grant which was used to reach to the custodian of the Qazipet shrine through the supervisor from the government treasury. From there it will reach to the administrator of the estate and who will used to distribute the amount of salaries to all concerned staff.
As per reference by Tufazal Hussain advocate that one month the supervisor of Nobat Khana who was obtained the amount of Rupees fifty towards the salaries from the Royal treasury office and he was fled to Hyderabad. But in the shrine building the staff members were waiting for him to receive their salaries from him and but at last they were able to know that the supervisor was fled from Qazipet and he was reached to Hyderabad.
At that time the custodian of the shrine of Qazipet was in Hyderabad. So the estate administrator Sheikh Dadan was informed the details of this case to Tufazal Hussain advocate and this event was mentioned by Syed Khaja Sadat Hussain Biyabani in his Urdu book ‘Lemat Biyabani’ and he was mentioned the details of this event on the pages 110-111 of his book and he was requested to take action against the supervisor of the police department. In his reply Tufazal Hussain advocate wrote him that as the custodian of the shrine is present in Hyderabad and if we start action against him, so due to kindness if the culprit will be forgiven by him then it will be not proper in this matter to initiate the case against him. So it is better to take the approval of the action from the custodian of the shrine first so that it is proper to take further action in this matter.
It was learnt by me that the estate administrator Sheikh Dadan was sent the letters by the post to Hyderabad for the kind perusal of the shrine custodian there.
The estate administrator Sheikh Dadan who is the grandfather of this translator and in whose memory this event was especially translated from the following book for the information of the readers of the International Internet Libraries in U.S.A. especially for the readers of these two websites as follows. www.calmeo.com and www.scribd.com
Upon this it was happened that supervisor of Nobat Khana after spending of the amount was reached to see the custodian and he told him all details in this matter and he requested him to forgive his mistake and he made loud and cry in this matter and he requested him to allow him to join back in his post.
It was learnt later that the custodian of the shrine was kept the supervisor at his residence in Hyderabad for a period of three days. During that period the letters of the Estate Administrator and the advocate was reaching for him. Upon this he was given the travel expenses from Hyderabad to Qazipet to the supervisor of the Nobat Khana and was sent him from Hyderabad to Qazipet and he was given the instruction to the estate administrator which is as follows.
“ That the supervisor was presented in his service and he ashamed of his bad deed so he was forgiven his mistake in this matter.So you also forgive him and allow him to join on his duty. Otherwise, he is poor person having small children with him so they will become economically poor and will be destroyed in this matter. Arrange the salary of Nobat Khana staff members from another fund.”
So after some days the supervisor was coming back to Qazipet from Hyderabad and he was allowed to join in his post as per order the custodian of the shrine of Qazipet and the staff members of the Nobat Khana was paid their salaries from the other fund by the administrator of the estate.

Dear Mr. Hafeez Sahib
Wa alaykum Assalaam,
Jazakallah for your sincere time and efforts it is an impressive contribution Indeed it is a nice English Translation and will help us to share with English speaking people. There are certain places need to be updated in your translation. May Allah swt bless you with the spiritual support of Hadrath Syed Jalaluddin Jamalul Bahar Mashooq Rabbani.
I believe we should enhance the compilation done by Hazrath Syed Aulia Quadri RA around some 55 years ago-- there are other historical books (should be available in A.P. Archaeology and State Central Library and other libraries .I know some books such as Mishkat un Nubuwwah by Hazarath Syed Ghulam Ali Shah R.A., Mahboob-zil-Menon - Tadkiray Aulia Deccan page 248 and Tawariqul Auliya second part page 528.
Insha Allah, Ali pasha will gather the information on Hazrath Mashooq Allah R.A from above mentioned books and from other sources and we will print a revised edition soon.
Once again, thank you and our heartfelt appreciation for your translation work.
