Amir Khusro - Definition and Overview

Abul Hasan Yaminuddin Khusrau (1253-1325 AD), better known as Amir Khusro Dehlavi, is one of India's greatest poets. He wrote in both Persian, as well as Hindustani. He was a Sufi mystic and was a spiritual disciple of Nizamuddin Auliya of Delhi.

He is also credited as being the founder of both Hindustani Classical music, and Qawwali music. His poetry is still sung today in Sufi shrines throughout Pakistan and India.

He is sometimes called the "Forest Gump" of Indian and Pakistani music, as he is credited with inventing many of the genres and instruments used in Indian and Pakistani music.
