Panj Peer (or Panj Pir), meaning the Five Great Saints, used to be accompanied together in their lifetime (Punjabi) literature,^[1] as follows:

Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti also known Gharib Nawaz (Ajmersharif, India)
Khwaja Qutbuddin Bakhtiar Kaki, of Mahroli, Delhi
Sheikh Baba Farid Ganjshakar (Pakpattan, Punjab)
Baha'ud din Zakariya (Multan, Punjab)
Lal Shahbaz Qalandar (Sehwan, Sindh)

These are mentioned in the great love-epic of the Sufi poet Sayyid Waris Shah "Heer Ranjha", which opens with an invocation to these holy sages.
