'''Sayyid Ali Tirmizi''' ({{lang-ps|سيد علي ترمذي}}), more commonly known as '''Pir Baba'''<ref>{{Cite web|title=Pir Baba|url=https://shattari.blogspot.com/p/pir-baba-of-pakistan.html|url-status=live}}</ref> ({{lang|ps|پير بابا}}), was a [[Sufism|Sufi]] who settled in [[Buner]] (present-day [[Khyber Pakhtunkhwa]], [[Pakistan]]) among the [[Yusufzai]] [[Pashtuns]]. He was probably born in 908 AH (1502 CE), in [[Fergana]] (present-day [[Uzbekistan]]), of [[Sayyid]] descent, died in AH 991 (1583 CE). He was a supporter of the [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] emperor [[Babar]], and was an opponent of [[Pir Roshan|Bayazid Pir Roshan]].

It is claimed that Pir Baba was the son of Sayyid Qamar Ali, who was in emperor [[Babur|Babur's]] army and had come down to Delhi as the governor of the Indian state. His mother was of Uzbek origin. Baba was more inclined towards Islamic studies.<ref>"PIR BABA" book by Sayyid Hussain Shah Tirmizi Sajjada Nashin, Pakistan, page 20-22</ref> Baba supposedly married a sister of [[Daulat Khan Lodi|Daulat Khan]] a [[Yusufzai]]; a respected [[Pashtuns|Pashtun]] from [[Buner District|Buner]].<ref>http://sayyed.info/rootspersona-tree/hazrat-sayyed-ali-tirmizi/ Hazrat Sayyed Ali Tirmizi</ref>

He had 2 sons, Sayyid Habibullāh Shaah and Sayyid Mustafa Shaah.<ref>"PIR BABA" book by Sayyid Hussain Shah Tirmizi Sajjada Nashin, Pakistan, page 10-12</ref>
