Life

Nuṣratī was born in the Carnatic region into an elite Muslim family of Brahmin origin. He lived as a Sufi dervish before moving to Bijapur. There he was made a mansabdar under Sultan ʿAlī II (r. 1656–1672) of the ʿĀdil-Shāhī dynasty. For his poem ʿAlī-nāma (c. 1665), he was named poet laureate (malik al-shuʿarāʾ). He died at an old age in 1674 or 1683.
