(IV) Shaikh Nasiruddin

Explanation:

Disciples of Nizamuddin Auliya addressed him as Sultan-ul-mashaikh.

Khwaja Muinuddin was popularly known as Gharib Nawaz (comforter of the poor).

Shaikh Fariduddin Ganj-i Shakar's dargah is in Ajodhan.

Each sufi shrine was associated with distinctive features. This is what an eighteenth-century visitor from the Deccan, Dargah Quli Khan, wrote about the shrine of Nasiruddin Chiragh-i Dehli in his Muraqqa-i Dehli (Album of Delhi): The Shaikh (in the grave) is not the lamp of Delhi but of the entire country. People turn up there in crowds, particularly on Sunday. In the month of Diwali the entire population of Delhi visits it and stays in tents around the spring tank for days. They take baths to obtain cures from chronic diseases. Muslims and Hindus pay visits in the same spirit. From morning till evening people come and also make themselves busy in merrymaking in the shade of the trees.
