Syed Sultan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Syed Sultan (c. 1550 – 1648) was a medieval Bengali Muslim writer and poet.[1] He is best known for his magnum opus, the Nabibangsha (1584), which was one of the first translations of the Qisas Al-Anbiya into Bengali language.[2][3] His literary works have been included in the curriculum of school level, secondary, and higher secondary Bengali literature in Bangladesh. There are claims that he is the same person as a certain Syed Sultan from Taraf in Greater Sylhet, although this is highly unlikely due to the time periods.[4]
