Uthman Mukhtari

Uthman Mukhtari

Uthman Mukhtari was an 11th century and 12th century poet of Ghaznavids, an empire originating from Ghazna located in Afghanistan.

Originating from Ghazna, he is thought to have written the "Shahryar-nama", which describes the struggles of Muslims against Indian heathens during the Ghaznavid era.

He was a great fan of Masud Sa'd Salman.

The epic was composed in 3 years. Parts of it remain in the British Museum.

He died in 1149 CE.
