The Tale of the Four Dervishes (Persian: قصه چهار درویش Qissa-ye Chahār Darvēsh), known as Bāgh o Bahār (باغ و بہار, "Garden and Spring") in Urdu, is a collection of allegorical stories by Amir Khusro written in Persian in the early 13th century. Legend says 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.
Mir Amman translated it from Persian into everyday Urdu, under the title Bāgh o Bahār. Later, in 1857, Duncan Forbes retranslated it into English. The translation of Mir Amman is still enjoyed as a classical work of Urdu Literature for the common daily language of its time.
