amir khusrow (1253–1325 CE)

this changed my life

this was written before the printing press was invented and it still sounds like a modern day shitpost

a form of indian poetry, keh (say) mukarni (denial) is an interesting genre of riddles played between two young women, where one of them describes something in a way that it is mistaken by the other girl as her beloved, and finally turns out to be something completely different

what is poetry if not the memes for our foremothers

not to break everyone’s bubble but this poem is credited to amir khusro who is a man and also he was gay. the poem is still written from the perspective of a woman ig but amir khusro wasn’t really a “foremother”
