That is how Faqeer saab came to Awadh-Lucknow and rose to become commander-in-chief of the Nawab's army. During that time, he surveyed Faizabad, Malihabad, Mohan and other neighbouring kasbahs and fell in love with the land here - the soil was rich, the water and air pure. Faqeer Muhammad sought permission from the Nawab to plant fruit trees, and became the first person to start mango plantation in Malihabad. He also built several havelis in the area, one of which was passed down to his great grandson, Josh Malihabadi, which later passed down to his grandson in turn, Ali Shahab. After several rounds of Rooh Afza and shayari from his dada's books, Shahab offers to show us the main haveli where Faqeer Muhammad lived, and which later became a set for Shyam Benegal's film Junoon (1978) and the Muzaffar Ali classic Umrao Jaan (1981).
