Syed Ghulam Naseeruddin Naseer Gilani (14 November 1949 – 13 February 2009) (Urdu: پیرسید نصیر الدین نصیرگیلانی) was a Pakistani Islamic scholar, poet, and spiritual leader who served as the custodian (Sajjāda Nāshīn) of the Golra Sharif shrine in Islamabad. A descendant of Meher Ali Shah, he was the son of Syed Ghulam Moinuddin Gilani and the nephew of Syed Shah Abdul Haq Gilani.
Renowned as a polyglot and prolific writer, he composed poetry in Arabic, Urdu, Punjabi, and Persian. He authored more than 30 books on Islamic theology, Qur’anic exegesis, hadith, Islamic jurisprudence, and the life of the Prophet Muhammad. His Persian Rubā‘iyyāt (quatrains) have been included in university curricula in Iran.
He played a prominent role in promoting the values of Islam, love, peace, unity, and humanity across South Asia and internationally. His poetry was famously adapted into Qawwali by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, further amplifying his spiritual influence.
