He came to old Delhi within the early 14th century an acquaintance of Nizamuddin Auliya and later became his successor. Hazrat Nasiruddin or Chiragh-e-Delhi left Ayodhya at the age of 40 and became a disciple of Khwaja Nizamuddin Auliya. Here he stayed for the rest of his life and after Khwaja’s death, became his successor. The last of the Sufi saints of the Chisti order in Delhi, his tomb was built by Firuz Shah Tughlaq. Hazrat Nasiruddin, unlike spiritual master Nizamuddin Auliya, did not listen to sama and as a result, qawwali is not performed near the shrine. Shaikh Nasiruddin Chiragh is talking about Alauddin Khalji in the above line. The reign of Alauddin Khilji marks the zenith of the Delhi Sultanate. In 1296 A.D. Alauddin Khilji succeeded Jalal-ud-din Firoz Khilji and ascended the throne. He was the first Muslim ruler to extend his empire right up to the extreme South of India. He conquered Gujarat, Ranathambor, Mewar, Malwa, Jalore, Warangal and Madurai. He is also famous for defeating the Mongols more than 12 times. As a continuation of Balban’s policy of kingship, Alauddin too strengthened the position of Sultan through some through measures. During his time a system of price controls had been set up, reduced the salary amount that needed to be paid. Three separate markets were set up in Delhi. The first one for food grains, the second for cloth and items such as ghee, oil and sugar. The third market was horses, cattle, and slaves. Regulations were laid out for the operations of these markets. He took various steps to control the prices. He exercised supervisions over the market. He fixed the prices of all the commodities from top to bottom. Market officers called shahna were appointed to keep a check on the prices. The defaulters were heavily punished. Land revenue was fixed and the grain was stored in government granaries. The soldiers and the civil population were greatly benefitted from these measures due to the low prices of the essential goods.
