Hazrat Shamsulddin Aarfin Turkmaan Shah Bayabani The shrine of Sufi saint Hazrat Shah Turkman Bayabani stands beside the entrance of the Walled City of Shahjahanabad. Hazrat Turkman is one of the earliest Islamic mystics to settle in Delhi. Said tHe settled in an area where he lies buried today. There was no Shahjahanabad then. It was all jungles and hills. He used to be known as 'bayabani', which means "the one who lives in the jungle." Today, the rough country that was chosen by Hazrat Turkman as his home no longer exists. Instead of ravines and bushes, the shrine finds itself sandwiched between a monstrous glass building and a police post. There is barely any decoration except for a dusty, cobwebbed chandelier hanging from the roof.
