(Business Head Office & the Branch offices
An interesting observation; upto 1990 he was the second one out of 17 brothers, who performed Haj while Ameer Hasan Pirzada was the first one to avail this oppurtunity of performing Haj in 1923 as before 67 years ago. Here we can imagine the state of interest in generation/lineage of Pirzadas related to religious matters during the period after 1870 AD.
About the Grave;
The verse written on his grave plate:
سگِ دربار میراں شو شہ خواہی قربِ ربانی
بر شیراں شرف دارد سگِ دربار جیلانی
The verse (Stanza/Qataa), displayed on his wife’s Grave plate, was written by him with great grief in acknowledgement to his long association with her:
دریغہ اہلیہ من قضا کرد
بود ہر چند منظورِ الہٰی
چہ کردم فکرِ تحریرِ وفاتش
فلک گفتہ کہ مغفورِ الہٰی
(از: پیرزادہ محمد مختار)
About the prominent Offspring:
Out of his 4 sons/ 2 daughters, Wajid Pirzada (pictured below) proved to be prominent and talented, having global exposure in Education/Proffessional Career & Business due to his longer stay abroad in China (Beijing), which can be viewed on his page.
