Summary

Compilation of the events of Jashn-e-Khusrau, a festival illuminating the accomplishments of Amir Khusrau, held at Hazrat Nizamuddin Basti and the India International Centre, Delhi, in March 2010. The festival celebrates the sūfīānā kalām (Islamic mystical poetry) of Amir Khusrau (1253-1325). The poetry has been performed for over 750 years by the qawwālī singers, and the festival puts together selected performers with distinctive style and repertoire. The book presents three essays on the history, tradition, and literature of the khānaqāh īqawwālī as attributed to Amir Khusrau, as well as a compilation of the kalām of the qawwālīs included in the CDs, with transliterations and translations.
