upright=1.25|thumb|Nusrati writing the Gulshan-i ʿishq, from a manuscript of 1743 Muḥammad Nuṣrat (died 1674), called Nuṣratī ('victorious'), was a Deccani Urdu poet.
==Life== Nuṣratī was born in the Carnatic region into an elite Muslim family of Brahmin origin. He lived as a Sufi dervish before moving to Bijapur. There he was made a mansabdar under Sultan ʿAlī II () of the ʿĀdil-Shāhī dynasty. For his poem ʿAlī-nāma (), he was named poet laureate (malik al-shuʿarāʾ). He died at an old age in 1674 or 1683.
