Mehboob-e-Ilahi Urs 2026

Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya (paidaish around 1238, intekal 1325), jinka asli naam Muhammad Nizamuddin tha aur jinhe pyaar se Mehboob-e-Ilahi kaha jaata hai, Delhi ke ek badey Chishti buzurg the aur barr-e-sagheer ke sabse asardaar Sufiyon mein gine jaate hain. Unki paidaish Badaun (aaj ke Uttar Pradesh) mein hui; bachpan mein hi waalid ka saaya uth gaya, aur baad mein wo taleem aur rehnumaai ki talaash mein Delhi aa gaye.

Wo Hazrat Baba Farid (Fariduddin Ganjshakar) ke mureed aur khalifa the, jinki khanqah us waqt Ajodhan (aaj Pakpattan) mein thi; is tarah unka silsila Chishti rivayat se juda. Baba Farid ne unhe apna janasheen (successor) banaya. Delhi laut kar Nizamuddin Auliya ne Ghyaspur ilaake mein apni khanqah (mehfil-o-taleem ki jagah) qaayam ki, jahan har tabke ke log aate the.

Unki taleem ka markaz mohabbat, sadgi, doosron ke saath naram-dili, aur garibon ki khidmat tha. Unhone saada zindagi guzaari aur shaadi nahi ki. Unke daur mein khanqah ka langar hamesha khula rehta tha, jahan aane waale har mehmaan ko khaana milta tha, chaahe uska mazhab ya haisiyat kuch bhi ho.

Unke kayi mureed the, jinmein sabse mashhoor shayar aur museeqar Amir Khusrau the, jinhe barr-e-sagheer ki Qawwali rivayat ko sanwaarne ka sehra diya jaata hai; unki qabr isi dargah complex mein hai. Ek aur ahem shakhsiyat Nasiruddin Chiragh Dehlavi the, jo unke baad Delhi mein silsile ke buzurg maane gaye. Unka intekal 18 Rabi al-Thani 725 AH (1325) mein hua, aur unki yaad mein har saal Nizamuddin Auliya urs manaya jaata hai.

Hazrat Nizamuddin Dargah New Delhi ke Nizamuddin Basti (purana Ghyaspur ilaaka) mein, Mathura Road ke paas hai. Yeh shrine sadiyon se ziyarat ka markaz raha hai, aur waqt ke saath alag-alag hukmranon aur mureedon ne isey banane aur sanwaarne mein hissa liya — isliye mojooda imaarat ek hi daur ki nahi, balki kai daur ki tameer aur marammat ka natija hai.

Complex mein daakhil hote hi visitor ko basti ki tang galiyon se hoke ek khula aangan (courtyard) milta hai. Beech mein marble ka banaya hua shrine hai, jiske upar gumbad (dome) aur chaaron taraf jaali-daar deewarein hain; andar sehen mein log chadar aur phool pesh karte hain. Paas hi Amir Khusrau ki qabr aur Jamaat Khana Masjid hai, jo laal patthar (red sandstone) ki takreeban chaudhavin sadi ki purani masjid hai.

Ek aur khaas hissa yahan ki purani baoli (step-well) hai, jo takreeban Nizamuddin Auliya ke daur ki maani jaati hai aur complex ke qadeem hone ki nishani hai. Aas-paas Mirza Ghalib ki qabr aur Chausath Khamba jaisi tareekhi imaaratein bhi hain, jo Nizamuddin ilaake ki tareekhi ahmiyat dikhati hain. Yeh dargah har Guruwar (Thursday) ki shaam ki qawwali ke liye khaaskar mashhoor hai, jise sun-ne shehar bhar se log aate hain, aur din bhar yahan ziyarat aur mehfil ka mahaul rehta hai.

Nizamuddin dargah urs date Islamic mahine Rabi al-Thani ki takreeban 17–18 tarikh par aati hai, jab Nizamuddin Auliya ka intekal hua tha. Hijri calendar chand par chalta hai, isliye Gregorian (English) date har saal takreeban 11 din pehle khisak jaati hai, aur exact English-calendar date har saal badalti rehti hai. Is saal ki live date aur countdown upar di gayi hai.

Urs sirf ek din ka nahi, balki kai dinon ka silsila hota hai. Shuruaat mein log dargah par parcham (flag/jhanda) charhaate hain, jo urs ke aaghaz ki nishani hoti hai. Iske baad khaas dinon mein aane waale chadar-poshi karte hain — chadar aur phool lekar mazaar par pesh karte hain.

Raaton mein qawwali ki mehfilein hoti hain, jo is dargah ki sabse purani rivayaton mein se ek hai; qawwal aangan mein baithkar pesh karte hain. In dinon mein langar chalta hai, jismein aane waalon ke saath khaana baanta jaata hai. Aakhir mein Qul ki rasm hoti hai, jo urs ke ikhtitaam (samaapan) ki alaamat hoti hai.

In dinon mein bheed aam dinon se kai guna zyada hoti hai, aur har mazhab aur tabke ke log ziyarat ke liye aate hain. Mahaul mein qawwali, phoolon ki khushboo, aur logon ki aamad-o-raft se ek khaas raunak rehti hai.

Nizamuddin dargah kaise pahunche — dargah Delhi ke beech mein hone ki wajah se yahan public transport se aana aasaan hai. Sabse nazdeek railway station Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station hai, jo takreeban 1–2 km ki doori par hai; yahan se auto ya taxi se aasaani se pahuncha ja sakta hai.

Metro se aane waalon ke liye sabse nazdeek stations JLN Stadium aur Jangpura (dono Violet Line par) hain, takreeban 2 km ke aas-paas; wahan se auto ya e-rickshaw milta hai. Hawaai safar ke liye Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI) takreeban 15–17 km door hai, jahan se taxi ya cab se dargah tak aaya ja sakta hai.

Road se aane waalon ke liye Delhi ki DTC buses aur cabs Nizamuddin ilaake tak aati hain. Main road (Mathura Road) se dargah tak Nizamuddin Basti ki tang galiyon mein thoda paidal jaana padta hai. Guruwar ki qawwali aur urs ke dinon mein bheed zyada hoti hai, isliye thoda pehle pahunchna aur paidal ka thoda faasla dhyan mein rakhna behtar rehta hai.

Waqt chunte hue yeh dhyan rakhein ke Guruwar ki shaam aur urs ke main dinon mein mahaul bharpoor hota hai, lekin bheed sabse zyada rehti hai; qawwali ka mazaa lena ho to shaam ka waqt sahi hai, lekin sukoon chahiye to aam dinon ki subah jaana behtar hai. Delhi ki garmi mein dopahar bahut tez hoti hai, isliye subah ya shaam ka waqt zyada aaraamdeh rehta hai.

Saath mein sar dhakne ke liye rumaal ya scarf rakhein aur sadgi aur ehtiraam waale (modest) kapde pehnein. Galiyan tang aur bheed-bhaad waali hoti hain, isliye halka saaman rakhein, joote complex ke bahar stand par utaarein, aur apne pocket, mobile aur bag ka khaas dhyan rakhein.

Dargah mein shaant, sabr aur ehtiraam ke saath pesh aayein aur aas-paas ke logon ka lihaaz karein. Yeh dargah har mazhab aur tabke ke logon ke liye khuli rehti hai, isliye har visitor yahan sukoon ke saath ziyarat kar sakta hai. Islamic dates aur baaki urs ki jaankari ke liye Urs calendar dekhein.
