Nizamuddin Auliya: Amir Khusrau’s soul

Amir Khusrau withdrew from the world. He mourned silently. Khusrau the courtier, the electric personality who could light up the court when he wanted, the people’s person, the poet, the musician, the Sufi, was now reduced to a man who had nothing left to live for. There was just darkness all round — so blindingly dark.
After six months of grieving, Amir Khusrau surrendered himself to his master. The soul could not survive the darkness of this world on its own.

Nizamuddin Auliya: The Darwesh of Love

Amir Khusrau, the court poet of sultans, turned to Nizamuddin when the intrigues of the court and the blood-letting became too much to bear. He found sanctuary at the khanqah.
“What do you desire?” Nizamuddin once asked Amir Khusrau. “The sweetness of verse,” he replied. “Go and bring that bowl of sugar from under the cot. Eat some and sprinkle the rest over your head,” Nizamuddin said.

Basant: The day hope lived in Nizamuddin Auliya again

There was a day when hope died in Nizamuddin Auliya’s Khanqah. That was the day he buried his nephew Taqiuddin Nooh, the apple of his eye, quite like his favourite disciple, Amir Khusrau, court poet of the sultans of Delhi and master musician.
The master grieved. He had not known grief such as this; this dark; this enveloping; this debilitating; this ravaging. And he had befriended grief many a time.
