Sikh gurus
Employed by Punjabis in literature, Persian achieved prominence in the region during the following centuries, as the region came under the Delhi Sultanate and the Mughals. The language of the Sikh gurus (Sant Bhasha) incorporated Persian, and some of their works were done entirely in the language; examples are the "Zafarnama" and the "Hikāyatān". Sikhism has since retained many Persian elements in its religious vocabulary.
