Hi Farhat,
We are through and through from lahore and before that our family moved from Syria, if i heard correctly. My grandfather was Ghulam Jilani and his father GhulamDastagir and his father Mehr Jhandoo (that was his title) who is buried in the mazar of Data Ganj Baksh in Lahore...when you enter the shrine his qabr is the first OONCHI (raised) qabr before the pillar as you approach the pillars surrounding the rozza area.
We are of pure Arab descent. Ask your grands about mine we had a very popular cinema in lahore called Paramount cinema...from my grandfather ghulam jilani's time....he was a graduate from aligarh university.
The names of brothers of my grandfather were:
Yazdani Jilani
Habib Jilani
Sultan Jilani
Hope to hear from you soon
