Sheikhupura or Shekhupura (Punjabi, Urdu: شيخوپورہ), formerly Kot Dayal Das (کوٹ دیال داس), is an industrial city in the province of Punjab slightly northwest to Lahore in Pakistan.[1] It is known for its historical places, and is commonly known locally as Qila Shaikhupura, because of the fort in the city, constructed by the Mughal Emperor Jahangir. The name Sheikhupura is derived from a nickname of Jahangir, who was know as Sheikhu by his father Akbar the Great.[2] The city is the headquarters of Sheikhupura District and is approximately 35 km from Lahore. Waris Shah was a Punjabi Sufi poet, best-known for his seminal work Heer Ranjha, based on the traditional folk tale of Heer and her lover Ranjha.
