Amir Khusro

Amir Khusro was only eight years old, since the inquisitiveness has arisen in his heart to seek God. So he started to wander in search of a competent Guru/Religious teacher.

If you have passion of something heartily then definitely it is granted, if the person deserves. Finally Amir started his journey to reach at the court of the great, famous Sufi Saint Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya .After reaching the shrine of Hazrat Sir, he seek for permission to meet Hazrat Sir/Sahab. Hazrat Sahab sensed the strong wave of emitting desire from Amir Khusro, invisibly. He permitted Khusro to meet him. The moment the Khusro entered in the hall and had a glimpse of the great Hazrat Sahab,it was so divinely ,so affectionate so godly that he loosed his sense and till the last breath of his life he could not become sensuous in the love of Hazrat sahib. The bowed neck of Amir in front of Hazrat Sahab in his regard was never lifted by him. Amir became follower of Hazrat Sahab. 

Once Hazrat Sahib was going somewhere with his followers. Suddenly, he entered in the house of a prostitute, without directing anything to his followers. All followers were surprised to note this, as the person who shows right direction to everybody, has how come slipped from his path? Is doing mischievous act like worldly people. Even then they kept on waiting for Hazrat Sahab for long, all the day, being hungry and thirsty. This continued for three days. Most of the people/followers of Hazrat Sahab loosed their patience/ trust upon their religious teacher “Hazrat Sahab” and started escaping to worldly life. After third day few strong built man came to down steps of the House of Prostitute with canes and started beating ,rest of the disciples of Hazrat Sahab. So rest all the followers of Hazrat Sahab fled away, disbelieving their Guru(i.e. Religious Teacher) except Amir Khusro, who remained there, bearing all the pains of hunger, thirst, scorching rays of Sun ,night, beating of brokers of the Prostitute, to have a glimpse of his lovely Guru, his master, his teacher “Hazrat Sahab”. 
After sometime Hazrat Sahab came back from the prostitute’s house. He saw Amir sahib was still waiting for him. Then he surprised and asked Amir, if everybody has escaped then why you remained here? you should also have gone with other people?
AMIR KUSRO REPLIED”O MY MASTER, MY GOD, MY THE ONLY CARE TAKER ,EVERYBODY HAVE SOMEBODY TO TAKE CARE OF HIM, BUT FOR ME NO BODY IS THERE EXCEPT YOU,SO TO WHOM I WOULD HAVE GONE?”. It was the best example of suspicion less, unconditional love of a disciple for his Master/Guru/Religious Teacher. The Hazrat sahib became so happy with Amir Khushro that he hugged/embraced Amir sahib with love. And from then Amir became the most eligible follower among all other follower of Hazrat Sahab.

Now, the situation of Amir Khusro was like a fish of water which cannot live without water i.e. Guru.
The Guru/Hazrat Sahab was knowing the mental condition of Amir ,so when the time of his deliverance reached ,he dispersed Khusro ,sent him to far fest Area from his Shrine ,and strictly directed to his other followers that never reveal about his death to Amir even if he comes back otherwise ,if he will seek me or weep/cry for me then no doubt I shall have to come back from the grave yard for him, as I shall not be able to stop myself even if I shall be dead. After instructing the above to his followers Hazrat Sahab left the worldly physical body, which was buried by his followers.
Few days after demise of Hazrat Sahab ,Amir came back to the Shrine of Hazrat sahib and asked from other followers of Amir Sahab”Why I am not feeling comfortable from few days, I am restless ,Where is my Guru/Hazeat sahib, as he was completely unaware of the death of Hazrat Sahab. But the people tried to hide the information of death of Hazrat Sahab and told him that he has gone to somewhere, he will be back after few days. But looking at agonise/thrash about of Amir for his Guru/religious teacher, anyhow, somebody has revealed that his Guru/master is dead .People tried to convince him that his master was a great person his physical body is only dead ,he is surviving invisibly. But nobody could be able to convince Amir Khusro. He ran to the Grave Yard of his Guru/Master/Hazrat Sahab eagerly and started sprawling on the grave yard of his Guru with love, with tears in his eyes, shouting “O master I cannot live without you. Amir was so much heart due to demise of his religious teacher ,that within minutes he also opted to die on the Grave of his beloved Guru/Hazrat sahib,with the last poem(Amir Khushro was a great poet also)
“Gori soye sej par mukh me dare kes; chal khusro ghar aapne sanjh bhai chahu des”
Meaning“The Beautiful Lady has already slept on her bed for ever, her beautiful hairs are surrounding her face, so Khusro (he addressed to self) move to your own house because it is already evening”
