Nur ud-Din Muhammad Zuhuri, a distinguished Iranian poet and prose stylist of the early, 11th century AH, was a celebrated literary figure who emigrated from Iran. In his youth, he spent a brief period at the court of Shah Abbas of the Safavid dynasty, where he composed laudatory verses in the monarch's honor. However, he soon left for India, where he found patronage at the courts of Burhan Nizam Shah sani of Ahmadnagar and Ibrahim Adil Shah of Bijapur, composing panegyrics in their praise. Zuhuri was highly skilled in both prose and poetry. His Divan reflects all the hallmark features of the Sabk-e-Hindi (Indian style of poetry), that prevailed in his time, while his prose follows the nasr-e-masnu (ornate literary style). Through the creative use of literary devices and rhetorical embellishments - distinctive of the Indian aesthetic - he infused his works with color and elegance. Some poets and prose writers even imitated him. Consequently, literary critics, both past and contemporary, have lauded his contributions to Persian literature. This article explores the literary stature and enduring significance of Zuhuri Torshizi in the context of classical and contemporary Persian literary criticism.
