Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu
Extract from the Letters of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti (Rehmatullahi ta'ala ’Alaih) to Khwaja Bakhtiyar Kaki (Rehmatullahi ta'ala ’Alaih)
‘In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent and the Most Merciful. True seeker of truth, dervish, my hard working brother, Khwaja Qutbuddin Dehlvi! May Allah bless you. After offering you my greetings, I wish to state that once Hazrat Najmuddin Sughra [may God be pleased with him], Khwaja Muhammad Tarak [may God be pleased with him] and myself were present in the service of Hazrat Khwaja Usman Haruni [may God be pleased with him]. Then a man came and asked as to how one could know that somebody was close to God. Khwaja Usman Haruni [may God be pleased with him] replied, “ The ability to do good deeds is the right test for this, for one who does good deeds shall attain his goal…”.
Then Hazrat Khwaja Usman Haruni’s (Rehmatullahi ta'ala ’Alaih) eyes filled with tears, and he said,
“ There was once a God-fearing slave-girl, who at midnight would perform ablutions and offer her prayers and thank the Almighty. Then, raising her hands in supplication, she would pray, ‘O Allah! I have achieved your closeness, kindly do not give me separation [from You]’. One day her master heard her pray thus, and asked her how she knew that she was indeed close to God. She replied that God had made her capable of offering her prayers at midnight and so she knew that she was close to him. Hearing this, her master said, “ Go, I set you free for the sake of God” …’

Uski Qismat Pe Na Kyo Naaz Kare Yeh Duniya
Jis Ko Mil Jaaey Tere Dar Ki Gadaai Khawaja
Din Jo Kat Jaaey To Kate Nahi Kat Ti Raatei
Ab Nahi Dil Ko Gawaara Yeh Judaai Khawaja
Kaun Sunta Tha Yahaa, Tere Karam Se Pehle
Tu Jo Aaya To Gharibo Ki Banaai Khawaja
Dekho To Sakhaawat Mein, Kya Shaan Hai Khawaja Ki
Khaate Hai Shahenshaah Bhi, Tukra Mere Khawaja Ka
