Urs of Khwaja Gharib Nawaz / Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti


About the Ajmer Sharif Dargah Urs
The Urs of Khwaja Gharib Nawaz (R.A.) / Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti also called as Ajmer Sharif Urs is celebrated every year in the first week of Rajab (on seeing the moon of Rajab) the seventh month of the Islamic calendar. On the appearance of the moon for the month of Rajab, there comes a change in daily routine which is generally held at the Holy Shrine of Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti. The main entrance of the Holy Shrine that is usually closed on normal days in night, is kept open through out the day and night (barring for 2 or 3 hours at night) during the six days of Urs. All other daily and weekly programmes are suspended and few functions and ceremonies commence from that night.



Celebrations during Ajmer Sharif Dargah Urs
The holy shrine and its surrounding area become many times happening than the normal days during the Urs. The drums ( big dhols) are beaten to herald the commencement of the annual ceremony. The permanent Chauki (troupe) of qawwals arrive, and after Maghrib (sunset prayers) they sit in front of the shrine and sing the following verses:

“Bartui mehfil-shahana-mubarak-bashad, Saqia-badao-paimana mubarak bashad”

(Felicitation to thee for this blessed and majestic assembly; salutation, ‘Oh Saqi for your bountiful goblet of sacred wine).

 “Ilahi ta-abd-astana-i-yar-rahe, Yeh-asra-hai-gharibon-ka-barqarar rahe”

(Oh God, may this Shrine of the beloved exist till the last day, may this refuge of the poor remain forever!)

Qul Day ( Final Day): Qul ceremony takes place on the last day of Urs which is also the sixth day of the month of Rajab. This is considered to be a very important day. After the morning prayers, people start gathering the Holy Tomb. The activities include recital of Glorious Qoran, Darood, Shijra-e-Chishtia and other verses. People also tie small turbans on each other’s head and pray for the benefit of the people, for peace, prosperity and happiness.

'I dont like Apples.'
(Bu Ali Sina)


When you feel you are alone in the crowd, 
When you think No.1 can understand you, 
When your love is rejected by others, 
& when you hate your Life, 
Just close your eyes, & see, her face who loves you
more than any 1 else, 
who care for you in loneliness, 
& dies when you cry. 
She is no 1, but your sweet loving mother. 
Love your mom first and always. 


Mothers Day SMS in Hindi   

Pyar karna koi tumse seekhe 
Pyar karana koi tumse seekhe
Tum mamta ki murat hi nahi,
Sab ke dil ka ek tukda ho
Main kehti hun Maa,
Tum hamesha aisi hi rehna.

Meri pyar ki list mein hai sirf tumhara naam
Selection ki bhi list mein hai sirf tumhara naam
Tum hi meri maa aur meri dost ho 
Mera pyaar hamesha tumhare saath ho.


Maa ki mumta kaun bhulaye,
Kaun bhula sakhta woh pyaar,
Kis tarah bataun kaise ji rahae hum,
Tu toh baitee pardesh mein,
Gale tujhe kaise lagaun,
Lekin bhej raha hae pyaar ish sms mein,
Tera betta meri pyari maa…
