Budshah (Sultan Zain-ul-Abdin, 1420-1470) was a poet too. Under the pen name ‘Qatai’ he wrote in both Persian and Kashmiri. A sample of his work in Kashmiri:
Zaavyul Kamar aavyul badan shokas chaman
zokas chhu ban
Yaaduk sezar raaduk thazar fasrshas chhu kan
arshas chhu thum

Came across it in A History of Kashmiri Literature by Trilokinath Raina.

All I can think about right now is hearing the talk of these old aunts about some woman named Badshah Bai.
