Amir Khusro Website
There are those who consume
Naans and kebabs even in their dreams;
And there are those who don't even dream,
Since they can't sleep due to starvation.
Amir Khusro Dehlavi, better known as a prolific Persian poet associated with royal courts of more than seven kings of Delhi Sultanate, is also a household name in much of North India and Pakistan through the playful Hindi Pahelees, Dohas and songs attributed to him. On these pages you will find an essay about his Urs (death anniversary), another one about his Hindvi poetry, and many (translated) selections from his Farsi poetry, apart from other interesting stories and links. Also see the lyrics of your favourite Khusro qawwalis. Keep visiting this site often, as more information is constantly being added here.
