The meaning of Zar Zari Zar Baksh
When he was leaving Delhi along with 1400 groups of holy personalities as per his spiritual master's instruction but at that time he was worried how he would manage the expenses of such a large gathering of people. He went to his master and told him his difficulty.His spiritual master went into meditation and told him that at the time of Tahjud (supererogatory in the early hours of the morning) prayer all the expenses for the day will be arranged for him. As per reference from Mohammed Qasim who wrote his famous history book ‘Tariq Farishta’ that at the time of Tahjud (supererogatory prayer in the early hours of the morning) there would arrive a small box full of gold for the expenses of the Darvishes from an invisible source. So he used to collect the gold in the morning and for that money, he would run the expenses of Darvish persons. For this reason, he was well known and became famous with the title of ‘Zar Zari Zar Baksh’. Maulavi Ghulam Ali Sahib Azad Bilgalrami wrote in his book ‘Roudah Auliya Deccan’ that when his endeavours, mystical exercises reached to their height and he got status and position of Mahbibiat (loveliness) then from that time daily in the morning and evening time he will use to get two robes of honour of gold from invisible source and which he will use to sell and spend the amount on the expenses of his Dervish friends and from that amount he will not use any amount for his personal expenses. So, for this reason, he is called as Zar Zari Baksh.
