(1324 A.D.). During the time of Muhammad Tughlaq again hè invaded Bihar to punish the Raja Hans Kumar of Rohtasgarh. Syed lbrahim died in (1352A.D.) 753 A.H. He was buried at Bihar Sharif on a rocky mountain called pir pahari , a few miles away from bihar sharif . The foundation stone of tomb of Syed lbrahim was laid by Makhdum Jahan Bihari, Mukhdum Ahmed Chirampush and Makhdum Shah Ahmed Sistani. The word Bayu' is the twisted from a Persian word *Beya' meaning "Come on.' Syed ibrahim, after his first victory over Bihar, went to inform the matter to Sultan Muhammad Tughlaq, who being pleased with his remarkable win said: "malik biya benashin' (O ChiefCome and Sit down). Mallick was a title conferred on important personalities for remarkable work. Syed Ibrahim also got this title. With passage of time the term Beya was twisted and became Bayu.[3]
