Syed Nisar Ali Bukhari, one of Qalander Baba Auliya'S childhood
mates, tells that he never picked up any fight with anyone and this appears
strange but the fact is that we all felt like respecting him. Perhaps it was
because he was always respectful towards his friends, he reasoned. He never
participated in any vulgar game.

house he welcomed him with open arms and embraced him with love and affection.
This caused the ice to melt and they both were in tears. After that they were Once
again 'friends as before. We remained friends for about seventy years, tells
Syed Nisar Ali.
After his migration to Karachi, it was his routine to- come, to our
house once in a. week. He used to come and stay for a while no matter even if he
wasn't feeling well, he recollected. And this routine continued till he wasn't

have to come to me!"
