Aproximadamente um século depois que o poeta persa Nizami escreveu seu Khamsa (Quinteto), o poeta indiano Amir Khusrau Dihlavi compôs uma resposta que altera ligeiramente as histórias. Este fólio vem de uma versão ilustrada dos versos Dihlavi feita para o imperador mongol Akbar (r. 1550–1605). A alta qualidade deste manuscrito de luxo é evidente na caligrafia feita por Muhammad Husain Zarrin Qalam, bem como nas bordas decorativas de ouro, iluminações e pinturas que incorporam influências estilíticas persas safávidas e europeizantes. Esta página pintada por Manohar descreve uma história, narrada por uma princesa ao rei Bahram Gur, sobre um jovem e seus imaginários encontros noturnos com a rainha das fadas em um jardim exuberante.
