Amir Khusraw was a great saint during Islamic or more specifically Afghan rule in India in the 13th and 14th centuries A.D. He was also the discipline of yet another great saint, Nizamuddin Awliya, whose shrine is located in Delhi. Before my parents came to America in the 1980s, they met in India, got married in India, and on occasion would frequent the shrine of Nizamuddin Awliya in Delhi to enjoy the musical performances which would take place there regularly. Dari or Farsi was the official language in India for a number of centuries, until the British conquered it. And then English became the official language in India.
But the perspective on love given here by Amir Khusraw is noteworthy, in the sense that love amounts to alienation and estrangement from both the self and its desires as well as external reality or the external world. That can lead to death and suicide, unless the condition and situation is guided and managed by yet another saint who has been alienated and estranged from both the self and its desires and the external world or external reality as a result of an unexplainable absorption into love (Majzoob).
