Emeers And Disciples of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya

Amir Hasan Sejzi (1272-1360 AD) and Ameer Khosro Dehlavi (1253-1325 AD) were amongst the disciples of Shiekh Nizammuddin Auliya (1238-1325 AD). Both of them were thought to be intimate disciples of the grand Shiekh. Both were closely attached to the court of the king in Dehli. In the court of prince Muhammad entitled Khan-e-Shaheed, the two poets had special seats of the intimate companions. Both the poets were the pupils of the grand saint Shiekh Nizamuddin Auliya and became his committed devotees to the extent that they could achieve their aims, for one could compile "Afzalul Favaaed" and the other "Favaaed-Ul-Favaad". Both the works are based on the utterances of grand mystic Shiekh Nizamuddin Auliya. In it the manners of the closest disciples who often had the companionship of the grand mystic are narrated. In this paper, the style of writing of these two works would be discussed. Whether under the influence of Ameer Hassan Sejzi had Ameer Khosro written the "Afzalul Favaaed"? if so, to what extent has its influence been upon? What role had "Favaaed-Ul-Favaad" played in this regard? What effects have the socio-political conditions left on it? These and many other related issues will be discussed in the article.
