MULTAN CITY
 Multan, in the lower Punjab, is claimed to be the
oldest surviving city on the subcontinent, dating back some 4000 years. Once an
important centre of Islam, it has since attracted more mystics, holy men and
saints than you can shake a shalwar qamiz at. Today, Multan is dominated by
their tombs and shrines, a fort that affords superlative views over the city,
and one of the best bazaars in Pakistan - those not converted by Anita Roddick
might like to snap up the skin potion, made from lizards, which is said to be an
excellent revitaliser.
It's
a 570km (353mi) trek down to Multan from
Islamabad. Buses and minbuses descend on
Multan from a variety of destinations including
Karachi, MULTAN, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad
and Hyderabad, dropping passengers off at
the chaotic general bus station. Trains
(a more comfortable way to travel) shuffle
between MULTAN, Karachi, and Rawalpindi.
About 966 km from
Karachi and more or less right in the centre of the country lies the ancient
city of Multan. Multan, the 'City of Pirs and Shrines' is a prosperous city of
bazaars, mosques, shrines and superbly designed tombs. It is also a city of
dust, summer heat and beggars. It has a long history. Alexander the Great
added it to his list of Indus conquests.

MULTAN is the Capital of the province of Punjab and the second
largest city of Pakistan. MULTAN is Pakistan's cultural, educational
and artistic capital. MULTAN is an ancient city and its history
dates back to 630 AD. It was at its most glorious during the Mughal
rule and has some of the best examples of Mughal architecture in
South Asia. Also seen in MULTAN are some fine colonial buildings of
the British Era. Most of the Mughal monuments are located in and
around the old city of MULTAN which had twelve gates and a wall
around it. Although most of the wall is gone, some gates are still
there. The old city is still very alive and vibrant with a maze of
narrow roads, lanes and bustling bazaars. MULTAN has expanded
immensely over the last 50 years and is still growing.
 THE
TOMB OF SHAH RUKN-E-ALAM
The mausoleum of Shah Rukn-e-Alam is also
situated on the fort mound. The Shaikh was
the son of Pir Sadar-Al-Din Arif born at
Multan on the 9th of Friday Ramazan 649/26
November 1251. He was the grandson and successor
of Shaikh Baha-Al-Din Zakariya.
Shaikh Rukn-i-Alam (Rukn-al-Din) died on
the 7th of Friday (735/3 Jamadial-Awwal,
January 1335). He was buried in the mausoleum
of his grandfather, according to his own
will. After sometime, however, his coffin
was transferred to the present mausoleum.
It was constructed, according to a popular
belief, by Ghiyas-al-Din Tughluq (1340-1350)
during the days of his governorship of Depalpur,
but was given by Feruz Shah Tughluq to the
descendents of Shah Rukn-I-Alam for the
latter’s burial. The mausoleum of
Rukn-I-Alam has been admired by not only
the travelers and chroniclers but also by
the art-historians and archaeologist who
wrote the architectural history of the subcontinent.
 THE
TOMB OF SHAH SABZWARI
The tomb of Shah Shamas Sabzwari is situated near the Aam Khas
Bagh, about a quarter of a mile on the east of the ancient
port on the high bank of the old bed of the Ravi which is now
filled with a multitude of modern buildings. Shah shams
Sabzwari was a celebrated “Ismaili Dai”. Very little is known
about Shams Sabzari’s life. According to a popular legend, he
arrived in Multan at the time of Shaikh Baha-al-Din Zakariya.
He breathed his last at the age of 111 years
