D. Amir Khusrau

💡 Solution & Explanation

Khwaja Abdullah Isami authored the historical epic Futuh-us-Salatin in Persian verse during the fourteenth century, chronicling the trajectory of Islamic rule up to the establishment of the Bahmani Sultanate. Chroniclers like Ziauddin Barani wrote prose works such as Tarikh-i-Firuz Shahi rather than this specific verse chronicle.
