Oh, Sultan, you fulfil all our needs and all our desires.
As you are a problem solver and a crisis manager,
Shah, you are famous in the world as a great king.
Please solve our crisis and make all the tasks easy.
If you do not help slaves, then where should they go?
Beggars and people in need are standing at the door.
So do a favour and help all and give them glad news.

The Biography of Hazrat Sangde Sultan Kar Mushkal Asan
Khandhar
 
The area of the Deccan was the center of knowledge,
enlightenment, and spirituality for many centuries. Khandhar,
which is in Maharastra, no doubt, was the center of knowledge
and enlightenment.
Hazrat's holy name was Syed Shah Sheikh Ali Sangde Sultan.
During the last period of the 8th century Hijri, from 770 to 780
Hijra, he was born at the place of Khandhar Sharif in the district
of Nanded. Hazrat Sangde Sultan Kar Mushkil Asan’s
genealogical link is connected with the 14th generation of
Hazrat Syed Ahmed, Kabir Rifai Mashooq Allah. He is a
member of the Hussaini family, which includes Sadat's (holy
prophet's descendants through Hadrat Fatima) Hussaini.As a
result, according to genealogical records, he is the 14th grandson
of his great-grandfather Hadrat Syed Ahmed, Kabir Rifai
Mashooq Allah.
His great-grandfather Syed Ibrahim Sepasalar, Hadrat Maqdaum
and Haji Miya, who came to the Deccan region along with the
army of the Sultan of Delhi Mohammed Tuqhlaq, and due to the
love and sincerity of Sarwar Maqdum, Haji Miya, both of them
settled down in Khandhar village. So their two mausoleums are
well known as a big mausoleum and a small mausoleum in
Khandhar. Khaja Sahib’s mausoleum in Khandhar village is
famous even today for the fulfilment of desires and wishes of
the people who visit his mausoleum there. Several hundred
thousand devotees from near and far, irrespective of religion and
beliefs, gather there to seek blessings. 
The meaning of the name Sheikh Sangde Sultan
     The Sangde Sultan is his title, which became an inseparable
part and which became more famous than his real name. His
great-grandfather, Syed Ibrahim Sepasalar, was given the title of
Sheikh twice by the court of Hadrat Sheikh Nizamuddin Auliya
of Delhi, and he was used to the title of Sheikh before his name,
and this tradition was followed by his lineage until it reached
Hadrat Sangde Sultan, who used it in the tradition of his great-
grandfather.He was succeeded by Hadrat Sagnde Sultan, who
was a great learned person of his time as well as the best author.
But it is very sad to know that due to destruction and ruin, his
books, which were written by him, have vanished away from the
world in the long-running of time.
 He died at the age of 86 years on the 8th Safar of the year 856
Heigra Islamic year and was buried in Khandhar Sharif village
in Nanded district. His mausoleum is well known as Roudah
Khurd.
The Urs (death anniversary). People from various walks of life,
irrespective of caste and creed, assemble to celebrate the Urs
(death anniversary), which takes place on the 8th Safar of the
Muslim calendar at the famous shrine (Dargah) in Qandhar
Sharif every year. And this year, his 583rd death anniversary
will be celebrated with great respect and solemnity under the
custodianship of Hadrat Shah Anwar Allah Hussaini Rifai
Qadri, in which several hundred thousand devotees are expected
from near and far, irrespective of religion and beliefs, to gather
there to seek blessings.
