Jahangir the Mogul emperor of Hindustan (1605-1627), His was named Saleem after the well known Sufi saint Hazrat Sheikh Saleen Chishti, who predicted his birth to Akbar, who until then was without an heir. Jahangir was also called Sheikhu Baba by Akbar with affection, that too with reference to the honorable saint.
Prince Saleem took the imperial title of Jahangir, which means "Ruler of the world" or "Global". His reign is considered to be one of the most plentiful of all and he is considered to be the richest of all the Mogul kings. The emperor has been laid to rest in Shahdara Lahore, for he had a deep association to the city and its surroundings.
