Abstract
Qiran al-Sa'dain by Amir Khosrow was written at the request of Sultan Kaiqubad. The poem is based on the reconciliatory meeting of Kaiqubad, the Sultan of Delhi and his father, Bughra Khan, the ruler of Bengal on the banks of the river Sar-e-Ju. Amir Khosrow, being an eye witness, was commissioned by Kaiqubad to capture this historical episode. Qiran al-Sa'dain occupies a unique place in the landscape of Subcontinent's Persian literature. Khosrow adopted an innovative style, aesthetically brilliant and historically significant. The description of Delhi, the triumphal arches, the singing girls, the musical instruments, the gifts exchanged between the father and the son, are some of the illustrious components of this long historical poem.
