Khosrow and Shirin (Persian: خسرو و شیرین), is the title of a famous Persian tragic romance by the poet Nizami Ganjavi (1141-1209) who also wrote Layla and Majnun. It tells a highly elaborated fictional version of the story of the love of the Sasanian king Khosrow II for the Armenian princess Shirin, who becomes queen of Persia. The essential narrative is a love story of Persian origin which was already well-known from the great epico-historical poem the Shahnameh and other Persian writers and popular tales, and other works have the same title.
Variants of the story were also told under the titles "Shirin and Farhad".
