Maulvi Nizam ud din
This fine Maqbara is situate
on an eminence to the west of village Shahu-ki-Garhi, on the road leading
from the Delhi Gate to Mian Mir, just on the bank of the road. The
dome is a splendid one, supported by a quadrangle with three arched entrances
on each side, the middle one being large and the side ones smaller.
Opposite the Maqbara to the west are the ruins of a platform (in the form
of one solid block) on which was the tomb of Mai Masuma, a disciple of
Maulvi Nizm-ud-din. East of the mausoleum was a platform three feet high,
with underground chambers in one of which was the grave of Mussammat Kher
Kadam, a slave-girl of the Maulvi, but it has been destroyed now.
 
People suffering from warts, of fleshy excrescencies, are said to recover
by marking a cow is the saint to offer a broom and a wreath of flowers.
The offering is still made by the people, and hence the saint is called
Pir Mohka, meaning a saint who cures people suffering form warts.
The saint died on 10th Saffar 1117 A.H. or two years before the deth of
Aurangzeb.
