han seven rulers of the Delhi Sultanate. He is popular in much of North India an
d Pakistan, because of many playful riddles, songs and legends attributed to him
. Through his enormous literary output and the legendary folk personality, Khusr
ow represents one of the first (recorded) Indian personages with a true multi-cu
ltural or pluralistic identity.
He wrote in both Persian and Hindustani. He also spoke Arabic and Sanskrit.[7][8

akistan and India.
Amir Khusrow was the author of a Khamsa which emulated that of the earlier poet
of Persian epics Nezami Ganjavi. His work was considered to be one of the great
classics of Persian poetry during the Timurid period in Transoxiana.
