ABSTRACT
It is difficult to name a socio-cultural sphere on which Shaikh Nizamuddin Awliya (1242-1325) might not have exerted ennobling influence, whether it is religion, politics, education, literature, music or, above all, the style of human relations. It is not only the eminent hagiographers, Amir Hasan Sijzi, Amir Khurd, Hamid Qalandar, ‘Abdul Haqq Muhaddith Dihlawi, Dara Shikoh and others1 who have written accounts of Nizamuddin Awliya’s life; most of the historians of the Delhi Sultanate have also written profusely about him.
