'''Burhanuddin Gharib''' was an Indian Sufi who belonged to the [[Chishti Order]].

==Spiritual Journey==
Burhanuddin Gharib studied under [[Nizamuddin Auliya]], the sultan ul mashaikh of [[Delhi]]; and Saiad Mahomed of Karmania relates in the "Seyar ul Aulia" that Burhanuddin was invested with the mantle and cap, the symbols of the kaliphat, in succession to the sultan ul mashaikh. Other writers state that on the death of [[Zar Zari Zar Baksh|Shah Muntajab ud din]] at [[Daulatabad, Maharashtra|Daulatabad]], his brother Burhanuddin was sent to succeed him, and was accompanied by 1,400 disciples. It appears more probable however, that Burhanuddin succeeded the Sultan ul mashaikh as ''[[kaliph]]'', and that he emigrated to the [[Deccan Plateau|Deccan]] when sultan [[Muhammad bin Tughluq]] transferred the capital from [[Delhi]] to Daulatabad.

Mujud ud din, in his " Bakiat-el-Gharib", gives a biography of Burhanuddin; and ''[[hajji|haji]]'' Saiad Baksh and Shams ud din, the nephew of Hasan bin es Sanjari, were the particular friends of the saint. Burhanuddin allowed music and rejoicing in the religious exercises at his convent. He remained for some time at Daulatabad and then left for Roza ([[Khuldabad]]), where he died in [[Hijri year|AH]] 741 (1344 AD).

When the sovereign Nasir ud din Nasir Khan Faruki of [[Faruqi dynasty|Faruki dynasty of Kandesh]] captured [[Asirgarh]] in 1399 AD, the town of [[Burhanpur]] on the bank of [[Tapti River|Tapti]] was founded in the honor of Burhanuddin.

The ''[[dargah]]'' has a large quadrangular courtyard having open fronted building on all sides and a ''nagarkhana'' at the east end. The west end of the quadrangle is used as a school and a door here gives access to an inner courtyard containing several graves. Facing the entrance is the tomb of Burhanuddin. Within the shrine are preserved some hair of the [[Muhammad|Prophet's]] beard. The shrine doors are plated with plates of metal wrought into fanciful designs of trees and flowers. There is a mosque in front of the ''dargah''. The ''dargah'' attracts thousands of pilgrims each year for the ''Urus'' of the saint.

===Nizam-ul-Mulk Asaf Jah's tomb===
To the right of Burhanuddin's tomb are the resting places of [[Qamar-ud-din Khan, Asaf Jah I|Nizam-ul-Mulk Asaf Jah]] I, the founder of the [[Hyderabad State|Hyderabad dynasty]], his second son [[Nasir Jang Mir Ahmad|Nasir Jang]], and of one of his consorts. They are covered with white cloth. The graves an on a platform of porphyry inlaid with white marble. A ten feet high screen of red porphyry surrounds them. [[Nasir Jang Mir Ahmad|Nasir Jang]]'s tomb is on the left. It is surrounded by small scalloped arches of red porphyry.
