Amir Khusrau biography

Abul Hasan Amir Khusrau was a prominent poet, singer and musician living near Delhi around the fourteenth century. Khusrau is considered to be the first popular poet of Hindustani Khariboli. By whom? They are known for their riddles and tricks. He was the first to mention his language Hindavi. He was also a Persian poet. He was sheltered by the Delhi Sultanate. The list of his texts is long. At the same time, their history is important as a source.

Early life:

Amir Khusrau, son of Saifuddin, a Turk of the Lachan caste of Central Asia, was born in the year (652 AH) in a town called Patiali in Uttar Pradesh. The Turks of the Lachan caste suffered from the invasions of Genghis Khan and came to India as refugees during the reign of Balvan (1266-1286 AD). Khusrau's mother was an Indian Muslim woman, the daughter of Imadutul Mulak, the war minister of Balban. Khusrau's father died when he was seven years old.

He started writing poetry as a teenager and at the age of 20 he became famous as a poet. Khusrau did not lack practical intelligence. Khusrau never disregarded social life. Khusrau spent his entire life in Rajyashraya. Even while living in the royal court, Khusrau always remained a poet, artist, musician and soldier.

Amir Khusrau's mother Daulat Naaz was a Hindu (Rajput). She was the daughter of Ami Imadulmulk, a nobleman of Delhi. Ami Imadulmulk was the war minister of King Balban. These were new Muslims due to political pressure. Despite converting to Islam, all the customs in his house belonged to Hindus. Khusro's Nanhihal had an atmosphere of singing and music. Khusrau's grandfather was very fond of eating betel. Later Khusrau also wrote a Masnavi called 'Tambola' on this.

This mixed family and the union of two traditions had an effect on Kishor Khusro. They wanted to do something different in life and it really happened. Khusrau's Shyam Varna Raees Nana Imadulmulk and his father Amir Saifuddin were both great Sufi seekers of the Chishtia Sufi sect and a devotee or follower of Saint Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia alias Sultanul Mashaikh. His entire family had taken initiation from Aulia Sahib.

Khusrau was only seven years old at the time. Khusrau's father died at the age of seven, but Khusrau's education was not hampered. He gained scholarship in philosophy and science of his time, but his genius was poetic in his childhood. As a teenager, he started writing poetry and at the age of 20, he became famous as a poet.

Of the three brothers, Amir Khusrau was the most sharp-witted. In the role of his treatise Gurratal Kamal, Amir Khusro has called his father Ummi i.e. illiterate. But Amir Saifuddin had made a very good (rare) arrangement for the education and initiation of his son Amir Khusro. Amir Khusrau's primary education took place in a maktab (madrasa). Amir Khusrau's writing was extremely beautiful.

Khusrau himself mentions in his Persian Diwan Tuhfatusigra (Young Gift - 671 AH, 1271, aged 16-19) that his guru Saduddin or Asaduddin Muhammad, seeing his keen literary aptitude and poetic talent, gave him his Also taken to Naib Kotwal. There sat another great scholar Khwaja Izzuddin (Aziz). The Guru highly praised his poetic musical talent and sweet melodious voice.

Khwaja Sahib then told Amir Khusrau to use 'moo' (hair), 'badge' (egg), 'arrow' and 'melon' (melon) - these four unique, mismatched and random things in one usher. Khusrau immediately combined these words with meaning and recited a sadya :: composed poem in Persian - 'Har muye ki dar do julf aan sanam ast, sad badj-e-ambari bar aan muye jam ast Chum kharpuja dadansh miane shikam ast. ' That is, in each of the strings in the hair of that darling, there are hundreds of eggs with the scent of amber fish. Don't think and know the heart of that beauty as simple as an arrow because there are also stinging teeth like melons inside it.

It is a matter of time. Then Khusrau Gayasuddin was a courtier in the Delhi court of Tughlaq. Tughlaq wanted Khusrau but was irritated by the name of Hazrat Nizamuddin. Khusrau was annoyed by this thing of Tughlaq. But what could he do, the mood of the king. Once the emperor was returning to Delhi from somewhere outside, then irritated, he asked Khusrau to go ahead and give the message to Hazrat Nizamuddin that they should leave Delhi before the emperor reached Delhi. Khusrau was in great trouble, but he told this message to his saint and asked what will happen now? "Nothing, Khusro! Don't you worry Still Delhi is far away - that is, Delhi is far away now. Literally Delhi became too far for the king. During a stop on the way, in the camp where he was staying, he broke and fell due to a severe storm and as a result he died. Since then, the saying 'Abhi Delhi Door Hai' first appeared in Khusro's poetry and then became prevalent in Hindi.

He also stayed in the court of Jalaluddin Khilji and his son Alauddin Khilji for six years. He was still close to Alauddin Khilji when he decided to get Padmini, the wife of Raja Ratnasen of Chittorgarh. Then these were adorned with the title of Khusru-e-Shaira of his court. He won Padmini by force

Tried to change Alauddin Khilji's attitude towards doing by saying that doing so will not achieve real happiness, rule over woman's heart can be done only with affection, she will give true Rajputani life and you will not be able to achieve it.

Among the mourners are the mourners of Khusrau's son and Feroz Khilji's eldest son or son-in-law Mahmud Khankhana. There is a big grandson who is definitely affected by Khakani but has taken his unique and new style. Among the poems, Khusrau's most famous poem 'Dariae Abrar' (River of good people) is in this. It praises Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia. Other poems belong to Jalaluddin and Alauddin Khilji.
