His shrine lies within the cantonment limits between the Fort and the Leytton Road. The Shrine is held in great esteem among the locals and the Tribes of Balochistan. Khwaja Naqr-ud-din's father's name is Khwaja Nasir_ud_din Waleed (birth:1326 A.C, death:1417 A.C ) and his shrine is in Chisht Sharif. Before 1470, during the reign of Sultan Hussain Mirza, when Shal(Quetta) was a part of Hirat, Khwaja Naqr-ud-din migerated from Chisht Hirat to Quetta along with his two brothers and settled there. Because Quetta at the time was called "Shal",Khwaja Naqr-ud-din is also known as "Shal Piran". His son Khwaja Wali settled in Kirani.
