charagh-e-chishtiyan ra raushnai
Interesting Fact
درگاہ خواجہ معین الدین چشتی کے مراسم خصوصی میں ایک رسم یہ بھی ہے کہ اذانِ مغرب سے قبل اندورنِ گنبد جب روشنی کی جاتی ہے تو فانوسوں کو احترام کے ساتھ سر پر رکھا جاتا ہے اور یہ منقبت پڑھی جاتی ہے، یہ متحقق نہ ہوسکا کہ یہ منقبت کس کی لکھی ہوئی ہے، تذکروں میں بھی اس کا ذکر نہیں ملتا، اشعار جس قدر اعلیٰ تراکیب اور نفیس بندشوں سے مزین ہیں اور مضمون بھی ہر شعر کا جتنا بلند سطح کا حامل ہے اس سے اندازہ ہوتا ہے کہ یہ منقبت کسی عالی مرتبت شاعر کی لکھی ہوئی ہے، یہ رسم زمانۂ قدیم سے جاری ہے، اب تک یہ معلوم نہ ہوسکا کہ چراغ دان کو سرپر اٹھانے کی ابتدا درگاہ میں کب ہوئی، متوسلینِ آستانہ کو بھی نہیں معلوم لیکن اس میں کوئی شک نہیں کہ جلال الدین محمد اکبر کو خواجہ بزرگ سے بے پناہ عقیدت رہی ہے، شاید اسی زمانہ میں جب اکبر نے اپنے محلات میں چراغ کے احترام رواج دیا اور خود آگ اور سورج کے آگے تکریم کرنے لگا تب ’’الناس علی دین ملوکھم‘‘ کے مصداق درگاہ میں بھی یہ رسم چل پڑی۔
