mahdic:mahdic:amir khusrow (1253–1325 CE)lmao i’m so happy and surprised to see how this thing blew up. this style of poetry is actually an entire genre in hindavi literature. it is a type of folk poetry called kah mukarni, and it involves two playful female speakers seemingly speaking about their lovers and ending in a wordplay. they’re very earthy-sounding in their folk performances, and they are traditionally sung by women. here’s another one by khusrow that i like:p.s. these are all from sunil sharma’s translations (which is prob as good as it gets in translation) -- source link
