A collection of research-based essays on Amir Khusrau [1253-1325 CE], the multi-faceted Indian scholar, sufi mystic, poet and musician. The book is divided into 2 parts: the first deals with Amir Khusrau's biography including an account of his tutelage and his tutors and the incident of his captivity by Moghul forces. Part 2 deals with two important literary works of Amir Khusrau, viz. (1) a prose collection entitled A'jāz-e-Khusravi or Rasāil al-A'jāz comprising 5 journals; and (2) "Qirān as-sa'dain" - a mathnavi (long poem) in Persian. Both literary works have been discussed in historical perspective.
