elahi behormat khwaja qutb al-din bakhtiar vakil al-bab, 'May god bless Khwaja Qutbuddin Bakhtiar, proxy of doors'

Hazrat Khwaja Syed Muhammad Qutbuddin Bakhtiar Kaki, a distinguished Sufi sage and erudite of the Chishti Order, hailed from Delhi. Although he was named Bakhtiar, he carried the appellation Qutbuddin. The epithet 'Kaki' was later added to his name, inspired by a miraculous event during his later life in Delhi. He is commonly known as Khwaja Kaki and Hazrat Qutub Saheb. A saint from birth, he holds the esteemed position of being the 'primary' Spiritual Successor to Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti of Ajmer. Among his notable disciples, Fariduddin Ganjshakar stands out as his most renowned, and this disciple in turn became the spiritual mentor of Delhi's illustrious Sufi saint, Nizamuddin Auliya. Nizamuddin Auliya went on to be the spiritual guide of Amir Khusrow and Nasiruddin Chirag-e-Delhi.
