Khusrow gave away his wealth, retired to Nizamuddin’s tomb, died six months later, and was buried in the shrine’s courtyard.Khusrau’s language was a mix of Brij Bhasha and Persian, his folksy and direct style of writing and singing shaped the idea of India: Hindus and Muslims could co-exist peacefully and celebrate each other’s cultures. Thus, Khusrau is rightly referred to as the ‘voice of India’.Today, the soul of the subcontinent’s sufi shrines lie in Khusrau’s qawwalis. His verses steer many to love, spirituality, and ecstasy. Amir Khusrow used only 11 metrical schemes with 35 distinct divisions. He has written Ghazal, Masnavi, Qata, Rubai, Do-Beti and Tarkibhand.
As you turn the corner and reach the entrance of dargah, you can hear the music all too clearly.“Mohay suhaagan keeni rey mosay naina milaikay,Chhap tilak sab cheeni rey mosay naina milaikay”It is no wonder that these compositions resound so beautifully with people even today.The pavilion outside the dargah itself is where each Thursday, the custodians of the dargah — the Nizami Bandhu sing Sufi songs and qawwalis in praise of the saint and the Almighty. Scores of people turn up to listen each week, sitting around the singers, their heads covered, hands folded and eyes closed as they partake of the intoxication in the air.For what remains at the core of these lyrics is a sentiment of love. Here’s a list of most celebrated songs of Khusrau:Khusrau was most closely associated with Nizamuddin Auliya, a disciple, who wrote several poems and songs and even pushed the boundaries of music by creating the qawwali, tarana and classical khayal styles.At 72, musical maker 'Tuti-e-Hind', lost interest in the world but his songs have ruled over our hearts and will continue to do so till the stars shine in the night sky.
