Solution

The correct option is C Both 1 and 2
Hindawi's first major poet was Amir Khusro (1253–1325), who composed dohas (couplets), folk songs, and riddles in this newly formed speech
Amir Khusrau called the language used by him Hindawai or the Dehlavi. He composed ghazals etc. in mixed language with alternate hemistich’s in Persian and Hindi, which went a long way in the development of Urdu language.
