Shaykh Syed Sharfuddin Bu Ali Shah Qalandar Panipati, renowned as Bu Ali Qalandar (1209–1324 CE), born in Panipat, Delhi Sultanate, present-day Haryana, India,[1] was a Qalandar and Sufi saint of the Owaisī Order, who lived and taught in India.[2] His dargah (Shrine) is located in Panipat, and is a place of pilgrimage for his followers.
His real name was Sharfuddin but he is well known by his title Bu Ali Shah Qalandar. His father Syed Muhammad Abu al Hassan Fakharuddin also known as Fakhar e Alam was a great scholar and saint of his time. His father was buried in Village Kirman Parachinar, Pakistan. He was descended from Imam Musa Al-Kadhim. His large descendants were moved to Pakistan after participation in 1947. He completed his studies at an early age and subsequently taught near the Qutub Minar in Delhi for 20 years. He published a collection of Persian poetry by the name of "Diwan Hazrat Sharafuddeen Bu Ali Qalandar"[3] which was later translated by Khawaja Shahudin in Punjabi. It was a great Sufi work in Persian language.[4][5] Some other famous Qalandars include Lal Shahbaz Qalandar and Shams Ali Qalandar.
