The shajra
of Fakir Khana , known as the “khandan-e-fuqra-e-Lahore,” intricately
traces the lineage of this venerable family from Adam to the Holy Prophet
(P.b.u.h.), and further to ‘Hazrat Jalal-uddin Hussain Makhdoom Jahanian Jahan
Ghasht’ of Uch Sharif. The lineage continues to ‘Sayyed Hussain Pir Kamal’ of
Chunia and finally to ‘Fakir Sayed Ghulam Mohi-Uddin Nausha-e-Sani’ of Lahore,
the true patriarch of the Fakir Family. The genealogy culminates with Fakir
Sayed Noor-uddin, his son, from whom the present descendants of Fakir Khana
inherit their noble heritage.
The illustrious ancestor of the Fakir Khana, Sayyed Jalal Uddin Sher Shah Haider Surkhposh, hailed from Bukhara, bestowing upon his family the distinguished title of Bukhari. Born in Bukhara in 595 A.H / 1198 A.D, he was the son of Sayyed Ali Abu-al-Mawaid Bin Ja’afer Hussaini. Renowned for his saintly disposition, Sayyed Jalal Uddin, accompanied by his disciples, embarked on a sacred journey from Bukhara to the holy cities of Makkah, Madina, Najf Sharif, and Baghdad. Ultimately, he reached Punjab with his two sons.
Upon arriving in Punjab, he initially settled in Bhakkar in Sind, where he married the daughter of Sayyed Badrudin Bin Sadrud Din. After her passing, he married her sister. However, familial jealousy, likely spurred by his marriage, forced him to leave Bhakkar. He then settled in the ancient Uch Sharif, now known as Chenab Rasulpur, formerly Deogarh. Sayyed Jalal Uddin Bukhari Surkhposh passed away between 1265 and 1270 A.D., contrary to the common belief of 1293.
Sayyed Jalal Uddin Bukhari Surkhposh had three sons from his Sindhi wives: Sayyed Ahmed Kabir, Sayyed Bahaud Din, and Sayyed Mohammad. From his eldest son, Sayyed Ahmed Kabir, came two sons: Hazrat Jalal Uddin Hussain Makhdoom Jahanian Jahan Ghasht and Hazrat Sadrud Din Raju Qattal. The genealogical table preserved in Fakir Khana reveals that the Fakir family is a direct descendant of Makhdoom Jahanian Jahan Ghasht.
