Nizamuddin Auliya: Amir Khusrau’s soul

Bibi Zulaikha soon passed, entrusting Nizamuddin to the care of his Maker. Nizamuddin, now in his early twenties, had nothing. But he felt secure.
Amir Khurd, the author of Siyar-ul-Auliya, which details Nizamuddin’s life, says Khusrau met Nizamuddin when he was living at his maternal grandfather, Imad-ul-Mulk’s house. The young Khusrau would present each of his poems to Nizamuddin. One day, Nizamuddin told him to compose poems in the style of Ishfanis — love poetry.

Nizamuddin Auliya to Amir Khusrau: I am weary of everyone, even myself, but never of you

From that day, Amir Khurd writes in Siyar-ul-Auliya, Khusrau’s words found the sweetness he was looking for and like the Sun, his fame captured east and west. Khusrau had also captured Nizamuddin’s heart.
“Repeat my prayer, for your permanence is dependent on my permanence. They should bury you next to me,” Nizamuddin would often tell Khusrau.

Bruce Lawrence’s Morals for the Heart: You may not see Nizamuddin but you can hear him

What is more powerful – your piety or my sinfulness?”
Nizamuddin took pity. “Society does have its effect,” he replied. Amir Hasan fell at his feet and became a disciple. From 1308 to 1322, he recorded the words Nizamuddin spoke at his assemblies and compiled a book in Persian with his master’s blessings called Fawaid-ul-Fawad. Dr Bruce Lawrence translated the book into English as Morals for the Heart.

Nizamuddin Auliya: A life spent in bringing happiness to the human heart

Nizamuddin was that perfected spirit. He could feel others’ pain. And in Amir Khusrau, Nizamuddin found that perfected spirit. Khusrau too felt the pain of others.
Nizamuddin was the shield of his people against the treacherous times, against life’s beatings of the soul. And no one other than Amir Khusrau realised that when the master would be reunited with his Love, the pain would be so intense that the lacerations would appear on his soul. Khusrau would not survive.
