: مقبرہ بی بی جیوندی‎) is one of the five monuments in Uch Sharif, Punjab, Pakistan, that are on the tentative list of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. [1] Dating back to the 15th century, the shrine was built in the spirit of the historical Sufi premier Bibi Jawindi of the Suhrawardiyyah order, a strictly hegemonistic Sunni school of theosophical thought which puts particular emphasis on the Shafi’i school of classical jurisprudence in the context of its interpretation of the Sharia. Jaw Indo was great-granddaughter to Jahaniyan Jahangasht, a famous Sufi saint in his own right. [1]

Undoubtedly one of the most historical sites in the country. The old architecture was a treat but unfortunately it was sad to see the condition of the people in utmost misery. The social gap was extreme, the rich are as rich as they could be while the poor are living hand to mouth. Our guide to the region didn’t even have shoes to wear. Tourism can be promoted in the region to be used for the welfare of the region but instead, they’re used by the ruling elite as well.

میرے عقب میں موجود بی بی جیوندی کے مقبرہ اوچ شریف کی ان پانچ جگہوں میں سے ایک ہے جو ورلڈ ہیریٹیج کی لسٹ میں شامل ہیں۔ اس کا عکس اقوام متحدہ کی انٹرنیشنل ہیری ٹیج وال پر موجود ہے۔ یہ مقبرہ 1494 میں خراسان کے حکمران محمد دلشاد نے تعمیر کروایا، یہ مقبرہ آرائشی نیلی، سبز اور روغنی ٹائلوں سے تیار کیا گیا ہے۔ اس پر کسی قسم کے رنگ یا پینٹ کا استعمال نہیں کیا گیا۔ مزار کا آرکیٹیکٹ ہشت پہلو ہے۔ اس کی چھت میں اعلی قسم کی لکڑی استعمال کی گئی ہے۔ اس کی تعلمیر میں اسلامی اور سرائیکی کلچر کے رنگ نمایاں ہیں۔

اوچ شریف کے بارے میں وہاں کے مقامی فرد کی روایت کے مطابق بارہویں صدی میں ہندو راجہ جے پال نے اپنی بیٹی اوچھا رانی کے نام پر اس شہر اوچ شریف کا نام رکھا، جسے اوچھ یا اوچ کہا جاتا تھا، اس سے پہلے اس شہر کا نام دیو گڑھ بھی تھا، اوچ کی تاریخ کے حوالے سے مورخين ميں تضاد ہوسکتا ہے ليکن اس بات پر سب کا اتفاق ہے کہ يہ تاريخی شہر بارہویں صدی میں دہلی جنوبی پنجاب کا سب سے بڑا تجارتی مرکز ہوا کرتا تھا، اسلامی دانشوروں نے خطے کے دیگر علاقوں میں جاری خانہ جنگی سے نکل کر اوچ کو اپنا مسکن بنایا اور یوں مسلم دور حکومت میں یہ شہر جنوبی ایشیا میں اسلامی تعلیمات کا مرکز بنا، بہت سے صوفيائے کرام نے مسلمانوں کی تربیت اور تبلیغ اسلام کی خاطر بھی اوچ کو اپنا مرکز بنایا، پندرہویں اور سولہویں صدی میں یہاں لاتعداد مقبرے اور مزارات تعمیر ہوئے۔ ايک اندازے کے مطابق یہ دھرتی ایک لاکھ کے قریب بزرگان دین اور صوفیائے کرام کی ابدی آرام گاہ ہے۔

بی بی جیوندی، بہال الحلیم اور استاد نوریہ کے مقبرے، حضرت سيد جلال الدين سرخ پوش بخاری کا مزار اور مسجد صديوں سے دنیا بھر میں اوچ کی پہچان ہيں، فن تعمیر کے یہ دلکش نمونے سيلاب کی وجہ سے آدھے زمين بوس ہوگئے ليکن حالات کے تھپيڑوں کے باوجود نصف مہراب والی ان پُرشکوہ عمارتوں نے اپنی شان و شوکت نہيں کھوئی۔

اوچ کو روحانی سلسلوں میں بڑی اہمیت حاصل رہی ہے، یہاں بخاری اور گیلانی سلسلوں کی اہم شخصیات کے مزار ہیں، يہ مقبرے اور مزارات ہر سال ہزاروں سياحوں اور پيروکاروں کیلئے باعث کشش ہيں۔

مزارات کا شہر کہلانے والا اوچ جنوبی پنجاب کے ضلع بہاولپور سے 75 کلو ميٹر دور ہے، اس کے دو اطراف میں اس وقت بھی دریا بہہ رہے ہیں جن کی وجہ سے یہ علاقہ ہمیشہ ہی سر سبز و شاداب رہا ہے، 5 دریاؤں کا سنگم ہيڈ پنجند بھی اس کے بالکل قريب واقع ہے ليکن بنيادی طور پر شہر خوبصورت مقبروں اور مزارات کي وجہ سے مشہور ہے۔
مذہبی اور تاریخی سیاست کے حوالے سے اگر آپ یہاں آئیں گے تو امید ہے آپ کو سب اچھا لگے گا، باقی رہی مزارات کی عقیدت وہ آپ کے اپنے عقیدے سے ہے۔ بہرحال بزرگان دین تو ہمارے لیے لائق تعظیم ہی ہیں۔

It was built in 1493 by an Iranian prince, Dilshad, for Bibi Jawindi, the great-granddaughter of a famous Sufi saint. Despite the damage already done to it, conservation efforts are underway to protect its gorgeous interiors and exteriors.

" تُسی اُچے تہاڈی ذات اُچی تُسی اُچ شریف دے رہن والے "

سامنے سے مکمل نظر آنے والا آدھا مقبرہ
" مقبرہ بی بی جیوندی " اُچ شریف بہاولپور!

اُچ کا سب سے زیادہ اہم مقبرہ پانچ سو سال سے زیادہ قدیم ہے، یہ خُراسان کے حکمران محمد دِلشاد نے 1494ء میں تعمیر کروایا تھا، نیلے رنگ کی خوبصورت روغنی ٹائلوں اور سبز باڈری پٹی کے استمعال نے اسکی خوبصورتی کو چار چاند لگا دئے، اندر کی جانب دلکش چوبی کام فنکاروں کی فنکاری کا منہ بولتا ثبوت ہے، یہ مقبرہ ہشت پہلو ہے اور اسکا گنبد بھی ہشت پہلو بنیاد پر رکھا ہوا ہے، افسوس کہ 1817ء کا سیلاب اسکا ایک حصہ اپنے ساتھ ہی پانی میں بہا کر لے گیا اور تب سے یہ اسی حالت میں تھا ـ
لیکن چند سال قبل یہ مقبرہ World Monuments Watch کی لِسٹ میں شامل ہوا اور اب اسکی بحالی کا کام کمشنر بہاولپور کی نگرانی میں جاری ہے ـ

دنیا کا خوبصورت ترین مقبرہ ہے. کاشی کاری جیسی عمدہ مثال اس سے بڑھ کر میرے نزدیک بر صغیر میں نہیں ہے

The tomb of Bibi Jawindi stands in the northwest corner of Uch Sharif on a low hillside, the site of an old fort, amid the ruins of several other architecturally significant tombs, among them the tombs of Ustad Nuria and Baha'al-Halim. It honors Bibi Jawindi, the great-granddaughter of Jahaniyan Jahangasht (1307-1383), a pupil of Baha'al-Halim who is commonly thought to have been instrumental in the construction of his teacher's tomb. Construction of the tomb is attributed to an Iranian prince, Dilshad, who provided the funds for the project. The three tombs in this area stand in a state of partial ruin, as major flooding in 1817 caused the collapse of the west side of the tomb and damaged those nearby as well.
The tomb is built of fired bricks on an octagonal base with turrets at each corner of the octagon. A single dome was raised above on a smaller octagonal drum with arched windows. Even though the tomb has partially collapsed, its symmetrical design makes it straightforward to visualize its original layout. The layout of the tomb is quite similar to that of the mausoleum of Shah Rukn-e-Alam in Multan, which was built between 1320 and 1324. Although this design appears common today, the tomb of Rukn-e-Alam and its successors at Uch Sharif were among the first tombs with an octagonal base built on the subcontinent.
The exterior is enlivened with bands of blue, white, and azure faience made of glazed tiles. As Dr. Ahmad Nabi Khan notes, there are three main varieties of these tiles used throughout Uch Sharif. The first "are plain square or rectangular terra-cotta tiles painted and glazed in various hues, mainly Persian blue and white. Second are "those having floral designs on rectangular terra-cotta tiles with foliage design in blue and white created in high relief. Third are "terra-cotta plugs with their broad ends cut in recess in various geometric patterns and painted white or blue.
The tomb requires active ongoing conservation to shore up and stabilize the remaining walls, turrets, and decorative features, but overall it is in better shape than the nearby Baha'al-Halim tomb. Five of the original eight turrets have survived in partial form, versus three at Baha'al-Halim. From certain angles enough of the tomb survives to present a clear impression of its original magnificence.

Historic place with an excellent view. Difficult to find it. Keep on asking from the locals about the route.

Architecture and history at its best. Beautiful tomb. Finally some consideration is being put into restoration of the project.
