    Solution

    Amir Khusrau was a multifaceted genius renowned as a musician, poet, and scholar. He was a prolific Persian poet and is often credited with being the "father of Qawwali" (a form of Sufi devotional music) and the inventor of several musical instruments, including the sitar and tabla. Khusrau's contributions to Indian classical music, particularly in the development of the Hindustani classical tradition, and his rich literary work in Persian and Hindavi, make him a pivotal figure in South Asian cultural history.
