this was not said by Amir Khusrao. It was said by a Mughal emperor when he first laid eyes on Kashmir.
I have heard this too, in the days of my youth. But it's most probably one of those apocryphal stories. Mughal emperors were not exactly in the habit of spontaneously breaking into verse.
That being said, does anyone know whether it was in fact said/written by Khusro? Any reference or citation? Should it just be taken out? -- Sarabseth 23:39, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
I am indeed baffled at this! Agar Firdaus Bar Ru E Zameenast! Hameenast O Hameenast O Hameenast a couplet written by Urfi Shirazi during his second visit to India and Kashmir in Nooruddeen Muhammad Jahangir's camp at Nishat Bagh is being shown here as a couplet by Ameer Khusrau Dehlavi, a Dari poet who was born during the reign of Nasiruddeen Mahmood of the Slave Dynasty and died during the reign of Muhammad Bin Tughlaq. Incidentally this same couplet is engraved on New Delhi's Red Fort at the Deewaan e Khaas court's arch which was alongwith other buildings in the Red Fort ordered to be built by Shah Jahan.
Please editors of Wikipedia, have this misinformation removed from this article! The spirit of Ameer Khusrau shall send you blessings in thanks from Heaven! Lutfullah ( talk) 15:36, 22 April 2009 (UTC)Lutfullah
My eyes wonder with disbelief at Wikipedia's contents when it comes to do with India and its people! Oh Allah The Merciful The Benevolent! Here under the heading Persian Poetry of Ameer Khurau of Delhi you have printed and translated a verse written by Naaser Khusro of Isfahan, Iran. O editors of Wikipedia! Wake up and have experts in Persian literature verify my point! See the entire printed/manuscript copies of Ameer Khusrau's collections and you will not find this rare piece of art in them. Look for Naaser Khusro's works Deevaan (collection) or Kulliyaat (Complete Works) published in Iran and elsewhere and India Office Library and Libraries at Cambridge and Oxford in the UK and you shall find these very lines therein.

``was an Indian musician, scholar and poet of Persian descent`` excuse me `of pesian descent`?.. doesn't it sound weird, how come a son of a turkic officer and rajput woman becomes `a poet of persian descent`, please explain me that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.226.101.111 ( talk) 16:29, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
from father side he belonged to the Hazara e Lachin, a turkic-persian speaking group. today we have the hazaras in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran who are turkic but speak persian. so he was an indian hazara poet and musician. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.204.241.97 ( talk) 04:32, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
Can you give your source about him being Hazara? AA73 ( talk) 12:08, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
I don't see how the edits by 77.178.248.71 that Beh-naam reversed were "nonesense".
Both of you need to grow up. There is no point whatsoever going back and forth reversing each other's edits endlessly. In the spirit of wikipedia, let other editors adjudicate this dispute between you. -- Sarabseth 16:48, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
Amir Khesrao himself claimed I am not a Turkic speaker and now you are telling me what others say. --Anoshirawan 04:52, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
Enough is enough.
You are obviously intent on ignoring the problems that multiple editors have with the reverts you keep on making. Invited to discuss the matter, you have chosen to dismiss the concerns rather than address the issues raised.
If you repeat your revert one more time, I am going to report you to Wiki administrators and ask that you be blocked from editing this article.
I'm sorry it has come to this, but you don't seem to have left any choice. -- Sarabseth 22:36, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Please have the courtesy to sign your contributions.
Whether the article "overemphasizes his Turkic origin" is debatable. And has been debated here at great length in the past.
However, that's not what the dispute over Anoshirawan's edit war campaign is about. As has been made clear repeatedly, the dispute other editors have with Anoshirawan is over:
a) invoking an elliptical couplet written by Khusro as autobiographical testimony, and using it to trump material supported by multiple cited sources
b) refusing to discuss the matter here when requested to
c) refusing to yield to the consensus of other editors -- Sarabseth 16:59, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
However, this article overemphasizes his Turkic origin.
By the way: this article claims that he belonged to the Turkish people which is wrong.
Amir Khusro, a Hindustani Turk was born of a Turkic father, Saif ad-Dīn Mahmoud, who was one of the chiefs of the Lachin tribe of the Karakhitais of Kush, Transoxania[6][7] and a Rajput (Rawal) mother, in India.[8] His grandfather bore the name of Turk.[9].
Then maybe you should have started a new topic, and not posted your comment under "Warning to Anoshirawan". -- Sarabseth 18:59, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
Why do you stoutly refuse to sign your comments? To the point where when a bot adds your IP address to your comments, you go in and remove it. What's up with that? -- Sarabseth 03:37, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
This may be difficult for you to understand, but I'm not going to go in and make changes based on things I do not know anything about.
If you feel so strongly about the state of this article, why don't you become a registered user. Especially given how active you are, making multiple edits every day to multiple articles. Is there some particular reason why you feel the need to hide behind an IP address (that you are not even willing to allow to appear on this page)?
And if you're going to make allegations, and you care at all about integrity and honor, you should be prepared to substantiate them. How, pray, am I a POV pusher? -- Sarabseth 02:01, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
Dear 82.83.152.225/82.82.133.241/82.83.139.81/82.83.153.142, it has obviously escaped your notice that the article is not about the difference between " Turkic peoples and Turkish people". If it doesn't hugely discommode you, I'll continue to make edits on those aspects of the article that I do know something about.
I should have known that you're the kind of coward who will make allegations about someone else, and then refuse to either substantiate or withdraw them.
I've come to the end of my patience with your nonsense, so I won't be responding any more. -- Sarabseth 14:58, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
"Amir Khosow is mostly known because of his Persian poetry and his Persian qawwali ghazals. He is regarded the most important Persian poet of India next to Iqbal)" is a POV statement.
Khusrau is an iconic figure precisely because of his multi-dimensional genius. His contributions to Hindustani classical music are seminal. To say he is "mostly known because of his Persian poetry" is certainly disputable.
Highlighting poetry to the exclusion of music in the first sentence makes it unnecessarily argumentative.
Far better to say just that he "was an iconic figure in the cultural history of the Indian subcontinent", and talk about both the poetry and the music after that.-- Sarabseth ( talk) 11:56, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
It is indeed amazing and moreover shocking to see that a world-class information pool such as the Wikipedia, whose authenticity is unquestioned these days, can depict page from a miniature copy of Nizami Ganjawi's Khamseh as a work of Amir Khusrau Dehlavi to make an introductory gesture on Amir Khusrau!
Ameer Khusrau did write his own Mukhammas or Khamsa as you rightly quote in the article but he had nothing to do with Nizami's Khamsa at all. Lutfullah ( talk) 09:43, 31 May 2008 (UTC)Lutfullah
Dear Cacahuate, with great respect for your illustrated personality, I request very humbly to you to revisit the web-page of The met again! It very aptly and clearly describes the miniature as from the KHAMSA OF AMEER KHUSRAU! NOWHERE DOES IT ATTRIBUTE THIS MINIATURE AS FROM THE KHAMSA OF NIZAMI GANJAWI!. I hope you take my point and request the editorial committee/board of Wikipedia to change the text of the introduction by deleting the words Khamsa e Nizami and correctly inserting the words Khamsa e Amir Khusro Lutfullah ( talk) 15:25, 2 June 2008 (UTC)Lutfullah
Cacahuate! Hats off to thee! I respect people with insight with all my heart. Please however get the introduction edited yourself or from Wikipedia's qualified editors to give the article authenticity. I am afraid, I am not bold yet enough to do major edits here.

I believe the photograph in the "Major life events in chronological order" is mis-captioned, and should probably be removed from this article
The caption for the same photograph in the Nizamuddin Auliya article identifies the tomb on the left as "Jahan Ara's tomb". I think that's right, but it certainly isn't Amir Khusro's tomb. As you face the photograph, Amir Khusro's tomb would lie around a corner to the left. Since the photograph depicts the Nizamuddin dargah but not Khusro's tomb, maybe it's a little off-topic here? -- Sarabseth ( talk) 19:25, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
I have reverted the unexplained deletion of sources. Tajik ( talk) 23:05, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
Our famous poet's life and times, and legacy, all is connected to India, where Persian is pronounced in the Eastern style (similar to Afghanistan), not as in Official Tehrani Persian. I found, on a Google search, 19,000 occurrences for "Amir Khusrau", and only 4,000 for "Amir Khusrow". The former is how it is pronounced in Hindi-Urdu. Actually, the spelling with -ow may have nothing to do with Western Persian; it may be an Anglicised spelling, taking the -ow from words such as how now brown cow etc. Anglicisation can have strange results, e.g. ṭhākur > Tagore. In any case, it is unfair not to include the Khusrau spelling when introducing his name, so I have made a small emendation. Jakob37 ( talk) 02:55, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
The Muslims had a certain knowledge of the rites of cremation as practiced by the Hindus, and Amir Khusrau in particular, who lived in India, sometimes alludes to the custom of satti, the burning of widows.
Learn from the Hindu how to die of love— It is not easy to enter the fire while alive.
He also describes sunrise with a related image:
The Hindu Night has died, and the sun Has kindled the fire to burn that Hindu

The article say he was born in Patiala near Etah - Patiala is Punjab separated by some five hundred kilometers Etah, which is eastern UP. This needs to be corrected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saliltoday ( talk • contribs) 07:49, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
The article contradicts itself, as follows: Early life and background: Amir Khusrow was born in Patiali near Etah in northern India. Major life events in chronological order: Khusrow was born in Badaun near Etah...

Hello everyone. After carrying out a minor edit to the page a lot of information was lost. I'm unable to revert it back to what it was previously, not sure if this is a bug with Wikipedia, when I compare with the version before my change, click edit, it doesn't give me all the subsections within the edit. If someone else can give it a go, or if an admin has rollback access then try that. Sorry!

Amir Khusrow → Amir Khusrau – Hi all, requested move is to the page titled Amir Khusrau. It is currently redirecting from that page to here. Jakob37 noted in 2009 that when he did a search of Amir Khusrau vs. Amir Khusrow, the number of results for the former outnumber. Based on a search and readings on Amir Khusrau, I believe the article title should change. Apollo1203 ( talk) 13:40, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

Dear authors,
the misspelling of the sultans surnamed Tughluq (to be pronounced with two oo's) as “Tughlaq” with an A is very common in historical literature, but it is outright wrong from the point of view of language. I have asked Prof. Semih Tezcan, an expert on Turkic languages, if he knew any language in which “Tughlaq” would make sense, and he said that “Tughluq” made sense in many Turkic languages, but there is no Turkic language in which “Tughlaq” would make sense.
“Tughluq” means standard-bearer or standard-keeper. It consists of tugh = “banner” and the suffix -luq (or -liq after bright vowels like e and i), which corresponds to English “-ness”, “-dom”, “-ity” etc. Tugh-luq is the office of “banner-dom”, i.e. “banner keeping” and raising the banner in battle, and therefore someone who is responsible for the soldiers who follow his banner.
It would be nice if you allowed me to correct the vowal. -- Curryfranke ( talk) 12:54, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
I've greatly improved the formatting of the references in the article by standardizing the formatting, giving proper author attribution, adding convenience links, etc. They still need work and I invite further collaboration.--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 16:49, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

In any case, it is unfair not to include the Khusrau spelling when introducing his name, so I have made a small emendation. Jakob37 ( talk) 02:55, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
The Muslims had a certain knowledge of the rites of cremation as practiced by the Hindus, and Amir Khusrau in particular, who lived in India, sometimes alludes to the custom of satti, the burning of widows.
Learn from the Hindu how to die of love— It is not easy to enter the fire while alive.
He also describes sunrise with a related image:
The Hindu Night has died, and the sun Has kindled the fire to burn that Hindu

The article say he was born in Patiala near Etah - Patiala is Punjab separated by some five hundred kilometers Etah, which is eastern UP. This needs to be corrected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saliltoday ( talk • contribs) 07:49, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
The article contradicts itself, as follows: Early life and background: Amir Khusrow was born in Patiali near Etah in northern India. Major life events in chronological order: Khusrow was born in Badaun near Etah...
I believe this needs to be corrected. 220.239.130.178 ( talk) 09:59, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
This article is structurally incoherent. Needs to be rewritten. Lacks references. Izmi ( talk) 13:00, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello everyone. After carrying out a minor edit to the page a lot of information was lost. I'm unable to revert it back to what it was previously, not sure if this is a bug with Wikipedia, when I compare with the version before my change, click edit, it doesn't give me all the subsections within the edit. If someone else can give it a go, or if an admin has rollback access then try that. Sorry!

I suggest we combine Amir Khusrow to this page to adjust the title of the page to Amir Khusrau. When doing a search of his name, majority of the results show Amir Khusrau versus Khusrow. Apollo1203 ( talk) 13:14, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

Amir Khusrow → Amir Khusrau – See below for the rationale to move. Hzh ( talk) 21:21, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
Amir Khusrow → Amir Khusrau – Hi all, requested move is to the page titled Amir Khusrau. It is currently redirecting from that page to here. Jakob37 noted in 2009 that when he did a search of Amir Khusrau vs. Amir Khusrow, the number of results for the former outnumber. Based on a search and readings on Amir Khusrau, I believe the article title should change. Apollo1203 ( talk) 13:40, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

Dear authors,
the misspelling of the sultans surnamed Tughluq (to be pronounced with two oo's) as “Tughlaq” with an A is very common in historical literature, but it is outright wrong from the point of view of language. I have asked Prof. Semih Tezcan, an expert on Turkic languages, if he knew any language in which “Tughlaq” would make sense, and he said that “Tughluq” made sense in many Turkic languages, but there is no Turkic language in which “Tughlaq” would make sense.
“Tughluq” means standard-bearer or standard-keeper. It consists of tugh = “banner” and the suffix -luq (or -liq after bright vowels like e and i), which corresponds to English “-ness”, “-dom”, “-ity” etc. Tugh-luq is the office of “banner-dom”, i.e. “banner keeping” and raising the banner in battle, and therefore someone who is responsible for the soldiers who follow his banner.
It would be nice if you allowed me to correct the vowal. -- Curryfranke ( talk) 12:54, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
I've greatly improved the formatting of the references in the article by standardizing the formatting, giving proper author attribution, adding convenience links, etc. They still need work and I invite further collaboration.--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 16:49, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
