The Suharwardis
The rich khanqahs of the Suharwardi Order of Multan, Uchh, and Talamba were pillaged during the successive waves of Mongol invasion.

Biya biya ke tu-e-shan-e-kirdagar biya
(Unto the assembly of friends oh! faithful come, to the lawn of heart O! witness of season of flowering come. Hail! The spring of the madness of love and sweet oppressor, Look at the torn skirt of my garment. The whole system of beauty is in full vigor to sacrifice itself on thy grace. Come- come- thou art the grandeur of the Lord Above.)
