According Abu Fazl, the author of Akbarnama, Humayun was a prolific poet. It seems that he composed both in Turkish and Persian, but mostly in Turkish. Here is an excerpt from Akbarnama:

"And in acquired accomplishments, he was at the head of his Age. He held high rank as a poet and a prose-writer, and especially in Turki poetry. The Turkish diwan (diwān-i-turkī) of his Majesty is of great eloquence and purity, and its contents are charming. His book of Masnawī which has the name of Mubin is a famous composition and is mentioned with great applause by critics."

The quote is from page 282, Chapter 19 of Akbarnama. Translated by Beveridge in 1897. I am not entirely sure about the artistic merits of Humayun's poetry, but I think that this information could be a nice addition to the article.

An emperor of his stature should have better detail in picture, @Chariotrider555

• That one (perhaps cropped) or the other early one. Not the much later one. Johnbod (talk) 02:12, 24 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

  I want Shah Jahan's album Mughal Emperor Humayun (Mughal art, circa 1650).jpg to be used as in this he is well detailed, while being historically credible as a Mughal era artwork and most importantly he is the subject of the image, rather than a small cropped image with a more vague detail that happens to include Humayun.
