A Story, a Tomb, A dargah and The Fall of the Mughal Empire

There is a saying that the Mughal Empire was destroyed because Mohammed Shah ( Rangeela) was buried between Mehboob e Ilahi and Hazrat Amir Khusrau thus separating them.

Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya as per legend had said, that if it was permissible by shariah he would have willed they be buried in the same grave.

This is mentioned in many Urdu accounts of 19th and 20th century as being revealed to Bahadur Shah Zafar by a saint.

The dome in the rear of the pic belongs to H Amir Khusrau’s dargah, called Choti Dargah. The people are sitting in front of Mohammad Shah’s tomb facing Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya ‘s shrine
