The Memoirs of Jahāngīr (Jahāngīrnāma) 12.2.7

12.2.7

I asked the inhabitants and people acquainted with history who Baba Hasan Abdal was, but no one could give me any specific information. The most noted spot there is where a spring issues from the foot of the hill. It is exceedingly pure and clear, and the following verse of Mir Khusru may well be applied to it. “The water is so transparent, that a blind man in the depth of night could see the small particles of sand at the bottom.” Khwaja Shamsu-d din Khwáfí, who was for a long time the minister of my respected father, erected a small summer-house there, and excavated a cistern into which the water of the spring flows, supplying the fields and gardens with the means of irrigation. Close to it he built a domed tomb for himself, but it was not his fate to be buried there. Hakim Abu-l Fath Gilani and his brother Hakim Humam, who were the most intimate friends of my father, and to whom he entrusted all his secrets, were buried there by his orders.
