'''Abdullah Qutb Shah''' (also [[transliterated]] in different ways) was the seventh ruler of the kingdom of [[Golconda]] in southern [[India]] under the [[Qutb Shahi dynasty]]. He ruled from 1626 to 1672.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Ahmed |first1=Farooqui Salma |title=A Comprehensive History of Medieval India: From Twelfth to the Mid-Eighteenth Century |date=2011 |publisher=Pearson Education India |isbn=978-81-317-3202-1 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=sxhAtCflwOMC&q=%22Abdullah%20Qutb%20Shah%22%20-wikipedia&pg=PA181 |language=en}}</ref><br />

Abdullah, son of [[Sultan Muhammad Qutb Shah]], was a [[Polyglot (person)|polyglot]], and a lover of [[poetry]] and [[music]]. He invited to his court and respected [[Kshetrayya]], a famous lyric writer. Kshetrayya is known for his romantic poetry.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Nanisetti |first1=Serish |title=Restoration of a Qutb Shahi tomb leads to new discovery |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Hyderabad/restoration-of-a-qutb-shahi-tomb-leads-to-new-discovery/article30488148.ece |work=The Hindu |date=5 January 2020 |language=en-IN}}</ref><br />

== Reign ==<br />
His reign was full of sorrow and trouble. His only success was demolishing decayed [[Vijayanagara Empire]] by capturing [[Vellore]], last capital of it in 1652. [[Aurangzeb]] under the command from [[Shah Jahan]] took over [[Hyderabad State|Hyderabad]] by surprise and restricted Abdullah within the [[Golconda]] fort. Abdullah worked hard to negotiate reasonable terms of surrender but the [[Mughals]] forced him into accepting severe conditions. However, the severe terms were sweetened by a matrimonial alliance between the two families: Abdullah's second daughter, known as Padshah Bibi Sahiba, was married to Aurangzeb's eldest son, [[Muhammad Sultan (Mughal prince)|Muhammad Sultan Mirza]]. She was his first wife, and so the chances of her progeny becoming Mughal emperor were great. However it did not ultimately happen.<br />
<br />
This unhappy monarch died in 1672 and was succeeded by his son-in-law, [[Abul Hasan Qutb Shah]].<br />
