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".
