Question

Which Sufi Saint remarked 'Hanoo! Dilli Dur Ast' (Delhi is still far away)?

A.

Nasiruddin Chirag-i-Delhi

B.

Nizamuddin Aulia

C.

Shaikh Bakhtiyar Kaki

D.

Baba Farid

Correct option is B

Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia, one of the most revered Sufi saints of the Chishti order in India, is famously known for this remark. When Sultan Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq was returning to Delhi after a successful military campaign, he was upset with the saint for not showing support to his political endeavors. The Sultan threatened to punish Nizamuddin Aulia upon his return. In response, the saint said, "Hanooz Dilli Dur Ast" (Delhi is still far away), implying that power and control are uncertain, and the Sultan may never return to Delhi. As fate would have it, Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq died in an accident before reaching Delhi, making the saint’s prediction true. This incident reflects the wisdom and spiritual insight of Nizamuddin Aulia, emphasizing the unpredictability of life and the futility of human ambitions.
