About Nasir Bakhsh Family
Shaikh Naseer Bakhsh, a lawyer by profession, joined the British Indian police department as a prosecuting attorney before the creation of Pakistan and retired as Superintendent of Police, Lahore, around 1964. He was married twice. He had a daughter from his first wife. That marriage ended in divorce. He had eight sons and two daughters from his second wife. Shaikh Naseer Bakhsh died in 1989 at the age of 81. All three of his daughters and four of his sons are now deceased. Among his living descendants are three sons, twenty three grandchildren ( 13 grandsons and 10 granddaughters), and ten great grandchildren.
 Shaikh Nasir Bakhsh had a passion for knowledge that he passed on to his descendants. He graduated from the Punjab University in British India with a bachelor’s degree in humanities in 1930 and received a law degree from the same university in 1932. He was fluent in English, Urdu, Hindi, Persian and Arabic. He loved the arts, music and poetry. He had read all the major Shakespeare plays. His favorite English poets were Shelley, Keats, and Byron. But he was passionate about the poetry of the great Urdu poet Muhammad Iqbal who conceived the idea of a separate homeland for the Indian Muslims and played a key role in inspiring the founder of Pakistan, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, to create the new nation of Pakistan in 1947. Sheikh Nasir Bakhsh was a life-long supporter of Jinnah’s freedom struggle for Pakistan. He admired America for its secular, constitutional democracy. His favorite American personality was Abraham Lincoln. He talked about Lincoln as a lawyer and a statesman who led America in its greatest moral, constitutional and political crisis in the American Civil War that led to the abolition of slavery. He motivated and inspired his children with the exemplary accomplishments of Iqbal, Jinnah and Lincoln.
Nasir Bakhsh’s  children were all well-educated and pursued professional careers in medicine, engineering, the military,  law, business, accounting, and education. Among his granddaughters is a lawyer practicing in the United States, a physician in Canada, a fashion designer in Pakistan, an engineer in Dubai, an officer in the Pakistan Civil Service, a pharmacist in the United States, and a professor of computer engineering in Pakistan. Among his grandsons are several engineers, several MBA's, a physician, and several computer  scientists. 
Today, Shaikh Naseer Bakhsh's descendants reside in Pakistan, United States, Canada, United Arab Emirates, and England. His descendants have kept Shaikh Naseer  Bakhsh's dream alive by pursuing his passion for knowledge over the decades and around the world.
Shaikh Naseer Bakhsh often cited Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) who in the 7th century said:”Seek knowledge even if you have to travel to China”.
