Kasur (Punjabi, Urdu: قصور; pronounced[kəsuːɾ]ⓘ; also romanized as Qasūr; from pluralized Arabic word Qasr meaning "palaces" or "forts"[4]) is a city to the south of Lahore, in the Pakistani province of Punjab. The city serves as the headquarters of Kasur District. Kasur is the 16th largest city in Punjab and 24th largest in Pakistan, by population.[5] It is also known for being the burial place of the 17th-century Sufi-poet Bulleh Shah. It is farther west of the border with neighboring India, and bordered to Lahore, Sheikhupura and Okara Districts of Punjab.[6][7][8] The city is an aggregation of 26 fortified hamlets overlooking the alluvial valleys of the Beas and Sutlej rivers.[9]
