Abstract

Amir khusrow (1253-1325) was one of the greatest poets of medieval India. He wrote in both Persian, the courtly language of the Muslims of the sultanate period, and Hindavi, the vernacular language of the Delhi area. His knowledge of Arabic, Persian, Turkish and Hindi languages allowed him to deal with outstanding jest and amazing fictional trickeries. He is known as Tuti-Yi Hind (the Parrot of India) for his lyrical fluency and effortlessness in Persian. Amir Khusrow has stood as a major ethnic portrait in the history of Indian sophistication for almost seven hundred years. He is specifically evoked as the founder of the 'Ganga- Jamni' Hindustani culture which is an amalgamation of the Muslim and Hindu elements. The third of his historical poems 'Ashiqa' (beloved) also known by the titles Ishqya' (love story) and Dowal Rani Khizr Khan is the figurative union of the two key Indian ethnicities that produced the amusing ethos whose history begins with the poet himself. The Ishqiya was completed in 1315, more than a decade after he had written Khamsa. It is probably his best-known historical tale poem and the one that has been most often demonstrated. It comprises 4200 verses, yet it took him a little more than four months to complete the poem. He continuously seems to prefer the Indian beauty over the splendors of Egypt, Rome, Samarqand, and the rest of the world. He goes on to divulge the delightful refinement of India, its classiness, and its multiplicity. He exceedingly escalates Indian culture and insight into its dialects, predominantly Sanskrit which is in no way mediocre to Persian. The entire form is an incomparable example of the masterwork of romantic poetry. In this article, the condensed similes used in the poem have been analyzed and examined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
