Nusrati

Muḥammad Nuṣrat (died 1674), called Nuṣratī ('victorious'),[1] was a Deccani Urdu poet.

[2] Nuṣratī was born in the Carnatic region into an elite Muslim family of Brahmin origin.

[10] His most original work is the ʿAlī-nāma, an epic celebration of ʿAlī II's wars against the Mughals and Marathas.

[4] Nuṣratī himself claimed to have invented a new poetic form with this work, which is "the only thing of its kind in Urdu".

[14] Unlike the ʿAlīnāma, written at the height of Bijapur's power, it is "largely in a minor key".
