Delhi is commemorating the 722nd Urs of Amir Khusro, a prominent 14th-century Persian poet and musician, at the Sufi shrine of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya. This annual event celebrates Khusro's contributions to poetry and music, particularly his role in the development of qawwali, a form of devotional music integral to Sufi traditions across the Indian subcontinent. The Urs, which began on Sunday and concludes on Thursday, includes a series of qawwali performances, showcasing Khusro's poetic legacy. His poetry, which elegantly intertwines Persian and Braj Bhasha, reflects deep spiritual themes, as seen in his famous verse about love. Khusro's influence extended beyond poetry; he was also a key figure in Hindustani classical music. Attendees are encouraged to visit Khusro's tomb, where inscriptions in Persian can be viewed, and to enjoy the company of the dargah's resident cat during the festivities.
