Lahore

Lahore, in the Punjab of present-day Pakistan, was a major city of the Ghaznavid, Delhi Sultanate, and Mughal periods and a great centre of Islamic culture in South Asia. The Sufi al-Hujwiri (Data Ganj Bakhsh, d. c. 1072) settled and is buried there, his shrine a major pilgrimage site; the poet-philosopher Muhammad Iqbal (d. 1938) lived and is buried in the city.
