Nasir Khusraw (Persian: ناصرخسرو; 1004 – between 1072–1088) was an Isma'ili poet, philosopher, traveler, and missionary (da'i) for the Isma'ili Fatimid Caliphate. Despite being one of the most prominent Isma'ili philosophers and theologians of the Fatimids and the writer of many philosophical works intended for only the inner circle of the Isma'ili community, Nasir is best known to the general public as a poet and writer who ardently supported his native Persian tongue as an artistic and scientific language.
