Qadir Bakhsh jo Qubo is situated some sixteen miles south of Rohri in Deh Akbarpur Jagir. It covers an area of thirty-five acres and contains many ancient graves.

The principal grave belongs to His Highness Mir Suhrab Khan of the Khairpur Mirs, who died in 1863 at the age of ninety. Next to it lays the grave of His Highness Mir Rustam Khan of the Khairpur Mirs, who died in 1870 in Poona (Pune) and his body was brought here for burial. Nearby are the graves of Mir Dost Muhammad, the second son of Mir Khan Muhammad Talpur (d. 1846), and of the mother of Mir Ahmed Ali Khan Talpur. To the east of the graveyard is a mosque constructed by the Talpurs. There is another mosque some 200 ft away, constructed by the British government. Attached to this mosque is the government musafirkhana (traveller lodge). Today, both the mosque and the musafirkhana are in ruins.

The tomb of Fakir Qadir Bakhsh, after whom this site is named, lies to the west of the village of the same name. Inside the tomb there are two graves, one of Fakir Qadir Bakhsh, and the other presumed to be that of a disciple. The tomb of Golo Shahani, the commander in chief of the army of Mir Suhrab Khan, is also situated here as well as a number of other graves of the Shahanis. Golo Shahani died in battle at Shikarpur in 1833. On the eastern side of the tomb of Fakir Qadir is the tomb of Syed Saleh Shah and to the west of it a mosque which is said to have been constructed by Fakir Qadir Bakhsh himself.
