Talk:Amir Khusrau

message: 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)

message: ``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)
replies: text: This attribution to Hazara is totally unfounded and erroneous. It is a product of Hazara nationalist who are seeking to claim parts of history and to separate themselves from the Mongol invasion. In the Farsi version of the article thid falsehood is claimed inside the Wikipedia article, without any credible reference. There was no Hazara presence in Balkh prior to Mongol invasions and even less likely was the idea of a Mongol so fluent in Persian as to produce poetry. It is pure nonsense by Hazara nationalists. 2001:67C:2628:647:6:0:0:42 (talk) 17:10, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  About his ethnicity 

message: "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)
thread_title:  Opening sentence edits of 1/23/08 

message: 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)

replies: text: I've changed your first comment back to its original statement, it's better not to alter your comments to change their original meaning once people have responded to them. You were under the impression that it was a page from Nizami's Khamsa, when I showed you that it is from Amir's version of his khamsa (the Met website also states  Amir Khusrau Dihlavi wrote his reprise of Nizami's Khamsa at the end of the thirteenth century). A quick Google search shows that it it often referred to as the "Khamsa-e-Nizami by Amir Khusro". Also later in the WP article it states "Amir Khusro was the author of a Khamsa which emulated that of the earlier Persian-language poet Nizami Ganjavi". Regarding editing though, you're welcome to edit the article, everyone's an editor here. – cacahuate  talk 15:55, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Translation of [[Amir Khusro#Unique Multi-lingual Poem]]

message: 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)

message: 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)
replies: text: p.s. I have also changed the Hindi spelling to reflect the correct traditional pronunciation; after all, he is part of classical literature. I suspect the common Hindi spelling ख़ुसरो is simply modeled on Khusrow/Khusro by people who were not very familiar with Persian. I have no objection to it being added that ख़ुसरो is the common spelling nowadays. Jakob37 (talk) 03:10, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  the spelling of his name 

message: 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

message: 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.

thread_title:  Move from Amir Khusrow 

message: 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)
