I would like to just share with you the fact that I actually visited the tomb of Syed Naseer-uddin (eldest son of Hazrat Shamsi Tabriz)inside the Shahi Qila, Lahore ( under the Samun Buraj, across from the Sheesh Mahal). I have to say it was a scintillating and exciting day for me. I went with my mother I remember it being dark and we had to go down some stony stairs and I guess I was a little frightened because it was so silent and dark. I can still remember the unusual lovely smell, a fragrance that I cannot describe.Once we got to the bottom of the stairs it was a wondrous sight and so peaceful I couldn't believe I was standing in the tomb of my ancestor and I felt the hairs on my arms standing with excitement. I think that it is a shame they have locked this place up;is there no possibility of the government of letting us visit the grave of our anvestor even if we have to pay a fee. It is a shame that the new generation cannot experience this.
Thank you.
