Re: Tehleel e Nafsi
He was just a discipline of Nizam u din, besides being a court poet. Everyone knows Nizam u din attitude towards court and rulers.
Khusro did created affection for Nizam u din through his compositions, but he was not that influential as a sufi. The term ‘sufi poet’ should not be taken with restricted meaning. He did touch sufi thoughts in his poetry, but he is better known for songs related to customs followed by then ladies of Delhi (both Muslims and Hindus).
