Aurangzeb Alamgir was hell bent on eradicating the Sufi saints and their mosoleums. He went far and wide and destroyed many shrines, he was returning to take care of Nizamuddin Auliyya a Saint of his time. When the news reached NIzamuddin Auliyya Rahimahu Allah he uttered the famous words. "Hunouz Dilli Door ast"(persian for Dehli is still far away). His words became famous as they turned out to be true and Aurangzeb died on the way to Dehli. So now we use the phrase for an event which has a lot of uncertainties involed.
This Phrase was used for Alauddin Khilji AND NOT Aurangzeb
They lived Four Hundred Years Apart
