Wow. One correction though...Ashique-rang was the pen-name of the last Moghul emperor, Bahadur Shah Zafar, who was the pupil of Ustad Tanras Khansaheb of the Delhi Gharana: Here is a piece I wrote for my edit page column in February 2013 in The Economic Times on this very bandish: Mango / Tango VITHAL C NADKARNI The liquid-lute-like call of orioles heralds mango blossom season in the city. The forest too is aflame with Palash, and the fields awash with golden mustard. “It’s time to bring home pitchers brimming with flowers,” says a famous verse that the ill-starred `Last Moghul’, Bahadur Shah Zafar, composed but which is often attributed to Hazrat Amir Khusrau. A variety of flowers adorn the door of Khwaja Nizamuddin Aulia, the Sufi master, says Zafar who composed the song under the pen-name, Ashak-rang. The song ends with the plaint that years have passed but the Khwaja who promised to come in a moment, has still not returned! Meanwhile the great cycle of seasons continues to revolve like an invisible machine: mangoes blossom and orioles arrive with seemingly uncanny precision as do festivals such as Eid al-Kabir. One such occasion has been immortalised in a 12-part panorama painted by Sir Thomas Metcalfe, the East India Company’s agent at Bahadur Shah Zafar’s court in 1843. It shows the Emperor seated on his royal elephant returning with his heirs and relatives in procession after offering Eid prayers. Barely a decade later, Bahadur Shah Zafar lost his throne in the abortive bid for independence. In another verse describing his fall, Zafar called himself “the ruined harvest of the parched skies (Jo chaman Khijr se ujad gaya, mein usi ki fasl-bahar hoon).” But nothing, except perhaps Time, endures forever: within a century, the Sun also set on the British Empire. Yet the Earth revolves around the Sun, creating the ebb and rise of seasons: orioles arrive, mangoes blossom, as they always have.

These are all inspired by, if not stolen, from Meera Bai's poetry. After Meera Bai's husband Raja Bhoj, and her father-in-law Rana Sangha died fighting the Mughals,, Meera Bai vanished from home. She was a poet, a singer and composer of Raags. But she disappeared, probably kidnapped. Her work was also stolen. Then it started reappearing in Mughal courts under the name of .Mohammad Shah Rangeele,. Her work also appears in the writings of Amir Khusro. Otherwise where did bhakti appear in the poems attributed to these two fellows. I mean Mohammad Shah rangeele was born in Afgha istan, had 3 elder brothers killed before he became king with the help of his supporters. He had them killed too later.

Was it written by Amir Khusro? Ashiq Rang was the pen name of Bahadur Shah Zafar, the last Mughal Emperor.
Anuja K' you tube post clear it.
It's a widespread wrong information. Pardon her.
Yes. It was composed by Amir Khusro.. chap tilak and many more...
