"Amir Khusraw Dihlavi (d. 1325), one of the best known poets of Persian in Islamic India, was a Turkish military aristocrat who served the Delhi sultanate under the Khalji and Tughluq dynasties. His Khamsa, or Quintet, was composed for the second ruler of the Khaljis, ³Ala al-Din Khalji (r. 1296–1316), in Delhi, between 1298-9 and 1301-2. Amir Khusraw was also a Sufi mystic who followed the teachings of the Chishti shaykh Nizam al-Din Awliya (d. 1325) and is buried next to him in his tomb in Delhi (Welch and Welch 1982, p. 144)." in Graves, Margaret S; Benoît Junod.

"Khusraw's father, Sayf al-Din Mahmūd (d. 658/1260), of the Turkic Hazāra-yi Lāchīn clan of Transoxiana, had arrived in India during the reign of Sulțān Shams al-Dīn Iltutmish (r. 607- 33/1211-36). His mother was the daughter of 'Imād al-Mulk (d. 671/1273), who was an Indian convert to Islam. Both men were in imperial service. According to later biographers, Khusraw was born in Patiyali, in present-day Uttar Pradesh, and spent most of his life in the capital, Delhi, hence his nisba Dihlavī. For his ancestral origin, he is known in present-day Afghanistan also as Khusraw-i Balkhī. After the death of his father, Khusraw was raised in the home of his maternal grandfather, where he studied calligraphy, Arabic, and Persian masters such as Sanā'ī (d. 525/1131), Anwarī (d. c.585-7/1189–91), and Khāqānī (d. 595/1199), whom he emulated in his own poetry. He displayed a talent for poetry as a child and at a young age began service as a professional poet with the family of Sultan Balban (r. 664–86/1266–87). His first patron was 'Alā' al-Dīn Kishlū Khān, nephew of the sultan." Sharma, Sunil (2017). "Amīr Khusraw Dihlavī".
