Abul Hasan Yaminuddin Khusrau (1253-1325 AD), better known as Amir Khusro Dehlavi, was one of India's greatest poets. He wrote in both Persian and Hindustani. He was a Sufi mystic and a spiritual disciple of Nizamuddin Auliya of Delhi.

He is also credited as being the founder of both Hindustani classical music and Qawwali music. His poetry is still sung today in Sufi shrines throughout Pakistan and India.

Amir Khusrau (Khusro, or Khusraw) was the author of a Khamsa which emulated that of the earlier Azerbaijani poet Nizami Ganjavi. His work was considered to be one of the great classics of Persian poetry during the Timurid period in Transoxiana.
