A grandson of Hazrat Amir khusrau called khusrau-i-Sani (The second Khusrau) in found in assemblies of Hazrat Chiragh-i-Dilli (D- 1356). He was also probably a poet like his grandfather. Syed Muhammad Hussaini Gesu Daraz (D- 1422) had developed intimate friendship with him. One day some disciples of Chiragh-i-Dilli conversed that Sufis usually put on yellow shoes but our peer (Sheikh Chirag Dilli) prefers red pair of shoes what could possibly the reason behind it? Someone purchased a pair of fine quality yellow shoes and presented to the sheikh who keeping one foot on the prayer carpet, put only one piece of that pair as a trial and granted that yellow shoes to Khusrau II, because sheikh Chiragh Dilli following the tradition of his Sheikh who used to wear red shoes. Khusrau II came out from his presence extremely happy and said to Khwaja Gesu Daraz that he had received a pair of shoes from the sheikh as a gift. The gift of shoes from the saints, says Gesu Daraz in an allusion indicating either high ranks in Sufistic progres, or the recipient would himself depart from this world. The colour of those Shoes, had not faded that Khusrau II fell suddenly ill and after a few days passed away. This episode is related to Chiragh-i-Dilli, so Khusrau II must have died before 1356 AD.
