He was timid by nature and slept with His mother at night. Even as a small child, he used to get up at midnight and repeast "Allah, Allah". While playing with little children, he craved to see "Allah", and felt sad when he could not. When he grew up a little, he was asked to take cattle for grazing. If he came across a good looking cow or calf, he felt that it might have seen Allah, so he went and bowed before it and asked to be directed towards Allah. He made similar requests of trees and bushes and wept bitterly when his requests were not fulfilled.

As a child, Naseer Faqeer was in the habit of dreaming often and often saw a Divine Being with a crown like a cap and once saw him flying on horseback. When he was still a child, the area was effected by a severe drought and famine and many people died of starvation. With the grace of God, when Naseer Faqeer went out with the cattle in the morning, he found two watermelons in a vine in the desert every day. These would suffice for food the entire day. No one else saw them, and this became Naseer Faqeer's meal every day till the famine was over. When Naseer Faqeer was about 16 years old, his relatives asked him to go out for work and earn wages for the family. While other laborers got 25 paisa daily, he was given only 12 paisa because he was thin and could not carry the heavy weights. One day he was asked to take up a loaded basket and pass it on to the next man. Due to the heavy weight on his head, his whole body bent under the weight. Finding this very difficult, he felt that only Dastagir Badshah Pir could rescue him and spae him of this hard physical labor. So he made it a habit to say "Come to my rescue, Oh Dastagir Badshah Pir" while carrying the heavy load and passing it to the next man. Soon, his request was granted and it started raining. Since it was winter and very cold, the work was topped. He returned home and went to sleep. Early in the morning, he heard someone calling him. "Come, Oh little Naseer lalalani. Come, Oh little Naseer Jalalani". He hot up and saw a boat coming along Mirwah (canal), even though It was dry. He saw a Divine light stretching from Heaven to the boat. There were five Divine Souls and Dastagir Badshah Pir in the boat. He went running to meet them. All of them bestowed great affection on him. Hazrat Mohammed Nabi Karim (PBUH) then entrusted him to the care of Dastagir Badshah Pir, who in return told Naseer Faqeer "Hereafter I will be looking after you. You should get Divine Nam from Hazrat Abdul Sattar Shah of Dargah Jhok Sharif ".

Naseer Faqeer and his family were poor, and since there were no trains, the long distance involved in traveling to Jhok Sharif made it hard for him to go there. Fortunately, a relative informed Naseer Faqeer that Hazrat Abdul Sattar Shah was expected there that day. Naseer Faqeer was delighted and accompanied his relative. Hazrat Abdul Sattar Shah arrived and sat under a tree called the "Holy Tree", so named because the bark of this tree was used to treat anyone with a fever. Naseer Faqeer went and bowed down before him. Hazrat Abdul Sattar Shah took Naseer Faqeer away from the gathering for privacy. He told him ' that he had received the message from Hazrat Nabi Karim (PBUH), so he had come there give him Nam.

Naseer Faqeer then traveled to the Dargah of Shah Abdul Latif and sat in a daha. Every day someone kept a chapatti for him, which he never ate. When he got up after ten nights, he found all the chapattis lying there. On the last day an old man brought food for him which he then consumed. Then, he proceeded to the Dargah of Lal Qalander Shahbaz, where he was received very affectionately. After he had been there four or five days, a spiritual being from Dargah Jhok Sharif appeared to Naseer Faqeer to tell him that he should now leave. The next morning, Naseer Faqeer proceeded to Jhok Sharif and to his Murshid. His Murshid's hair was vibrating and breathing love and affection for Naseer Faqeer. He told Naseer Faqeer "You have consumed your very bones and then come here. Now narrate your experiences. Naseer Faqeer then glanced around as there were many other people present. His Murshid told him not to worry about the others. Naseer Faqeer then narrated all his experiences, while others were busy in their conversations. Naseer Faqeer had so much love for his Murshid that out of respect he never uttered his name. Whenever he talked about his Murshid sahib, his emotions would not let him talk further.
