Aproximadamente un siglo después de que el poeta persa Nizami escribiera su Khamsa (Quinteto), el poeta indio Amir Khusrau Dihlavi compuso una respuesta que altera ligeramente las historias. Este folio proviene de una versión ilustrada de los versos de Dihlavi realizada para el emperador mogol Akbar (r. 1550–1605). La alta calidad de este manuscrito es evidente en la caligrafía ejecutada por Muhammad Husain Zarrin Qalam, así como en los bordes decorativos de oro, iluminaciones y pinturas que incorporan influencias estilísticas persas safávidas y europeizantes. Esta página pintada por Manohar ilustra una historia, narrada por una princesa al rey Bahram Gur, sobre un joven y sus imaginarios encuentros nocturnos con la reina de las hadas en un florido jardín.
