The first writer to use Urdu as the medium of poetic expression was Amir Khusro. Amir Khusro was a 13th-century poet, musician, and scholar who played a significant role in the development and popularization of Urdu language and literature. He is often credited with the fusion of Persian and Indian influences to create a unique style of poetry in Urdu. Amir Khusro`s contributions to Urdu poetry set the foundation for later poets and established Urdu as a prominent language of literary expression.
