The Legend of Saint Khwaja's Tombs


One of the sons of the Saint Khwaja went hunting in the hills. During the journey, he fell ill due to extreme fatigue. He asked a boulder to carry him home, and the boulder obeyed his command.


On the way, he met his father, who, seeing him riding on the boulder, foretold that he would fall from it and die. As foretold, he fell from the boulder, which still lies there.


When his sister heard of this, she ran to the spot with tears in her eyes and found her brother still alive. She asked what had happened. He replied, "I am lying here according to my father's forecast, but if he wishes, he can bring me back to life."


Hearing this, she ran to her father and begged him to revive her brother. He replied that if he granted her request, all the other dead would also claim to return to life.


She returned to her brother and repeated what their father had said. He answered, "If our father chose to bring to life all the dead in their tombs, he would not find it impossible."


For a third time, she went to her father and made the same request. He foretold that as soon as she reached her brother again, she would meet the same fate, that is, she would die.


She returned to her brother and breathed her last. The tombs in which they were buried are still to be seen.
