Babur invented a new style of verse in Persian called 'Mubaiyan'. He was also a noted poet and writer.

The name 'Babur' is derived from the Persian word 'Babr', which means Tiger.

Babur wrote his memoirs in his mother tongue, Chaghatai Turkish. It was later translated into Persian during Akbar's reign.

Amir Khusrau, known as the 'Parrot of India', began his career during the reign of Balban (specifically under his son Muhammad) and served several subsequent Sultans.

Balban introduced 'Sijda' (prostration) and 'Paibos' (kissing the monarch's feet) to demonstrate the superiority of the Sultan over the nobles.
