Hazrat Musa Pak Shaheed was a Sufi saint who was martyred sometime between 1592 and 1601. Upon his martyrdom (which may have resulted from a bullet wound during a bandit raid at Mangehatti to the south of Multan), he was initially buried alongside his father in Uch Sharif. Later, after the preparation of his tomb, his body was brought to Multan in 1616 and was re-interred at the present site. According to legend, his body was found to be uncorrupted during the exhumation process and was brought to Multan on horseback.

The current buildings comprise a single-dome tomb and a triple-dome mosque adjacent to one another. The shrine building, on the south, includes an antechamber on the east side which is decorated with a wooden door covered in silver sheathing (likely the work of Bahawalpur silversmiths). On the west side is a closed room for the graves of women who were interred near the saint.
