Sufi Story of Amir Khusrou R.A and Bu Ali Qalandar R.A. One day Amir Khisroe requestedhis shaikh’s permission to visit Hazrat Bu Ali Qalandar in Panipat ashe intended to proceed to that town. Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliyagranted the permission. During his visit, Amir Khisroe was asked torecite his poetry. He recited a couplet: The whole city is full of handsome youths, but I am absorbed in my own Beloved; What can I do, my obstinate eyes refuse to look at any other beloved. This was well appreciated by Hazrat Qalandar who then recited someof his own poetry. After that he concentrated on him spiritually butAmir Khusroo could not bear the intensity of his concentration.
