Re: The cities and places they lived
In story of Heer Ranjha, after Heer was married in KheRas, Ranjha was heartbroken. He wandered the countryside alone, until eventually he met a ‘jogi’ (ascetic). After meeting Baba Gorakhnath, the founder of the “Kanphata”(pierced ear) sect of jogis, at ‘Tilla Jogian’ (the ‘Hill of Ascetics’, located 50 miles north of the historic town of Bhera, Sargodha District, Punjab), Ranjha becomes a jogi himself, piercing his ears and renouncing the material world.
**In search of Tilla Jogian
**
The Tilla Jogian has immense scenic beauty is probably the birth place of one of the oldest religious institutions of Hinduism. The hill towers to a height of over 975 meters west of Jhelum. From a bridge on the river outside Thelum, the hill appears elongated perpetually swathed in purple skein. The magnificent view from Jhelum encompasses the complete hill valley as well as the river.
There is a more than palpable aura of mystery surrounding the place. Legend tells us that it was up in this hill King Raja Porus’s elephant ran calling out in a human voice warning the King of Alexander the Great’s presence in order to avoid a confrontation. The historical record of Sher Shah’s son gives the location of king’s fort as being in the vicinity of Ballnath in Jogis.

Re: The cities and places they lived
yes its combination of both:
Khorasan in its proper sense comprised principally the cities of Mashhad, Nishapur, Sabzevar and Kashmar (now in Iran), Balkh and Herat (now in Afghanistan), Merv, Nisa and Abiward (now in Turkmenistan), Samarqand and Bukhara (now in Uzbekistan). Some believe that at certain times Khorasan covered a wider area, which included parts of Transoxiana, Soghdiana, Sistan, and extended to the boundaries of the Indian subcontinent.
many Sufi saints belongs to these cities. Balakhi, Sabzwari, mashadi, Bukhari are part of names of many suifs of sub-continenet
