this was not said by Amir Khusrao. It was said by a Mughal emperor when he first laid eyes on Kashmir.

I have heard this too, in the days of my youth. But it's most probably one of those apocryphal stories. Mughal emperors were not exactly in the habit of spontaneously breaking into verse.

That being said, does anyone know whether it was in fact said/written by Khusro? Any reference or citation? Should it just be taken out? --Sarabseth 23:39, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Edit war of Aug 30

I don't see how the edits by 77.178.248.71 that Beh-naam reversed were "nonesense".

Both of you need to grow up. There is no point whatsoever going back and forth reversing each other's edits endlessly. In the spirit of wikipedia, let other editors adjudicate this dispute between you. --Sarabseth 16:48, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Message for Anoshirawan:

If it is true that "His father was from Balkh, Balkh is a Persian city. and he had no knowledge of any turkic language", it should be possible to support that by a citation. Please do not revert back without a proper citation. You can't cite an elliptical couplet by Khusro as proof of autobiographical facts. --Sarabseth 13:50, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Amir Khesrao himself claimed I am not a Turkic speaker and now you are telling me what others say. --Anoshirawan 04:52, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Do you understand the statement: "You can't cite an elliptical couplet by Khusro as proof of autobiographical facts"?

Do you not have any reference for your claim that "His father was from Balkh, Balkh is a Persian city. and he had no knowledge of any turkic language" other than the couplet you cite?

Do you think this request was unreasonable: "Please do not revert back without a proper citation."

I request you to consider the issue with a cool head. --Sarabseth 12:28, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
