It is claimed that Pir Baba was the son of Sayyid Qamar Ali, who was in emperor Babur's army and had come down to Delhi as the governor of the Indian state. His mother was of Uzbek origin. Baba was more inclined towards Islamic studies. [2] Baba supposedly married a sister of Daulat Khan a Yusufzai; a respected Pashtun from Buner.[3]

He had 2 sons, Sayyid Habibullāh Shaah and Sayyid Mustafa Shaah.[4] Anwar Baig Baghi, a descendant of Pir Baba in his 12th generation, made news because "he could read only up to fifth grade but he penned down over 50 books on variety of topics."[5]
