Amīr Khusrav was survived by another poet, Shaikh Najm-ud-dīn Hasan, known as Hasan-i-Dihlavī, whose works, less widely known than Khusrav’s, were much admired. Both poets are honourably mentioned in the *Tazkirat-ush-Shu‘arā* and in the *Atashkada*. Hasan died in 1338 at Daulatābād in the Deccan, and was buried there. The celebrated Jāmī refers in highly complimentary terms to these two poets of Delhi, and they are among the few Indian-born writers of Persian verse whose works have been read and admired beyond their own country.
