Circa un secolo dopo la redazione del Khamsa (cinque poemi) opera del poeta persiano Nizami, il poeta indiano Amir Khusrau Dihlavi scrisse versi in risposta, variando leggermente le vicende narrate. Questo folio proviene da una versione miniata dei versi di Dihlavi realizzata per l’imperatore Moghul Akbar (r. 1550-1605). Il manoscritto è di rara raffinatezza grazie alla curatissima calligrafia di Mohamed Husain Zarrin Qalam, oltre che alle decorazioni dei bordi in oro, alle miniature e agli squisiti dipinti che combinano influenze stilistiche europee e persiane dell’ epoca safavide. Dipinta da Manohar, questa pagina illustra una storia narrata da una principessa al re Bahram Gur di un giovane che immagina di incontrare ogni notte la regina delle fate in un rigoglioso giardino.
