Shah Bilawal, the son of Syed Usman and grandson of Syed Isa, migrated to the region with Mughal Emperor Humayun from Herat. Initially, he settled near the present-day location of Sheikhupura Fort and later moved to his final abode during the reign of Mughal Emperor Akbar. Shah Bilawal lived a devout life and passed away in the year 1636 A.D. at the age of seventy.
During the rule of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, the course of the Ravi River underwent a significant change. As a result, the resting place of Shah Bilawal's remains was relocated and reburied near Raja Dina Nath's garden. Astonishingly, even after the passage of 200 years, the saint's corpse remained remarkably fresh, a sight witnessed by numerous people.
However, due to subsequent alterations in the course of the Ravi River, another tomb was constructed at the new location. This second tomb serves as a testament to the veneration and respect for Shah Bilawal, ensuring his memory endures for generations to come.
