FAKIR at Mirpur 1 Mazar. A fakir or faqir is a Sufi, especially one who performs feats of endurance or apparent magic. Another fakir who seemed more friendly invited me to come back at 7:30 pm for the “iftar” (breaking the fast). The mazar is a place where a Muslim saint was buried and a shrine has been built. Many people come here making wishes and then give alms to the poor, including the fakirs. It also has turned into a place where young street workers hang out.
