The Tale of the Four Dervishes

The Tale of the Four Dervishes (Persian: قصۀ چهار درویش Qissa-ye Chahār Darvēsh, lit. 'The Story of Four Dervishes'), known as Bāgh-o Bahār (باغ و بہار, lit. 'Garden and Spring') in Urdu, is a collection of allegorical stories by Amir Khusro written in Persian in the early 13th century.

While legend says that Amir Khusro was the author, the tales were written long after his death. Legend has it that Amir Khusro's master and Sufi saint Nizamuddin Auliya had fallen ill. To cheer him up, Amir Khusro started telling him a series of stories in the style of the One Thousand and One Nights.
