PREFACE. 


On the 6th December, 1847, I was honored with the orders 
of the Government of India appointing me an Extra Assistant to 
the Resident at Lucnow, as a temporary measure, for the purpose 
of cataloguing the extensive collection of works in Arabic and 
Persian literature in the king of Oudh’s libraries. 

Among my instructions was the following, “ you need not con- 
fine yourself exclusively to the king’s libraries, but you can under- 
take, as opportunity offers, the examination of some of the best 
private collections in that city, which are supposed to contain 
many rare and valuable works.” 

' T arrived at Lucnow on the 3rd of March, 1848, and I left it 
on the Ist January, 1850. One month I had other duties to 
perform and near three months I was sick. The time which I 
devoted to cataloguing was about eighteen months. During this 
time I examined about 10,000 volumes. .Very many of them 
were duplicates; but as no kind of arrangement exists, parti- 
cularly in the Tépkhénah library, and as it is impossible to recol- 
lect whether or not a note has been taken of a book, duplicates 
took just as much time as new works. There are also many 
defective volumes which after much search for a name, date, 
or title, I was obliged to throw away. Supposing then that I had ۰ 
worked every day ten hours (and to do this day after day in a 
tropical climate is a physical impossibility) I could have devoted 
only half an hour to the examination of each volume. 

- I was assisted in my labour by ’alyy Akbar of Paénypat. He 
was a pupil of the Dilly College, and had not yet completed 
his course of study when I took him to Lucnow. I did not 
expect more of him than that he would copy for me such passages 
as I might mark ; but he soon entered into the spirit of the work 
and was of very great service. Some time after my return from 


1۲ PREFACE. 


Lucnow I recommended him to the late Lieut. Governor of the 
North Western Provinces and he appointed him first Professor 
of Arabic of the Agra College. He died in that post in 1852, 
about thirty years of age. I take this opportunity publicly to 
record my sense of gratitude and esteem to this talented imdus- 
trious and conscientious young man. 

The Royal Library at Lucnow was originally kept in the old 
Palace (Purén4 Dawlat-khénah), which stands on an eminence 
between the Rümy Darwaézah and the iron bridge over the 
Gumpty and is now nearly in ruins. It contamed the whole 
of the literary treasures of Hafitz Rahmat Khan, and was 
. subsequently much enriched more particularly by Ghaziy aldyn 
Haydar. 

At present it is divided into three collections. The valuable 
literary works upwards of three thousand volumes are preserved 
in a garden house of the Méty Mahall Palace, and elegant 
books are kept close to the Farah-bakhsh Palace in which the 
late king used to reside. ‘This collection contains about one 
thousand volumes or less, and formed the private library of His 
late Majesty. The Daréghah thereof superintends the other 
librarians. Books, in these two collections were kept im shelves, 
when I was at Lucnow, and were in tolerably good order, but 
lately, I hear, they have been given up to pillage. 

The third collection is in the Tépkhénah or arsenal, which is 
close to the house of the British Resident. The arsenal is an 
extensive building including a large square which is filled with 
guns. ‘Three sides of the building are devoted to military stores, 
and in the northern wing up-stairsis the library. The books are 
kept in about forty dilapidated boxes—camel trunks—which are 
at the same time tenanted by prolific families of rats; and any 
admirer of oriental lore who may have an opportunity to visit 
this collection will do well to poke with a stick into the boxes, 
before he puts his hand into them, unless he be a zoologist as well 
as an orientalist. At the end of the hall there are bags full of 
books completely destroyed by white ants. Even new books have 
not been spared by these destructive insects, nearly the whole 
edition of the Taj alloghat has been destroyed, and most of the 
remaining copies of the Haft Qulzum have had the same fate. The 
number of volumes in this collection is very great, and among 


PREFACE. ۷ 


them are some Pashtü works written with great care for the brave 
and learned Rohilla chief. 

It is unfortunately the habit of the king’s people merely to 
count the volumes, and to make the librarian responsible for the 
numbers not diminishing. The consequence is that many good 
books have been abstracted and bad ones put in their place. 
There are at least one hundred copies of the Gulistén and as 
many of Yusof ü Zalykha in the Tépkhanah, which apparently 
fill the places of more valuable works. I have heard that a late 
librarian sold in one week eleven hundred Rupees worth of books 
to provide funds for the marriage of his daughter. 

In making this statement I beg to say that I have every reason 
to speak highly of the present Dardéghahs or librarians, and that 
. I consider them perfectly honest. They are very civil men, more 
particularly one of the two librarians in the Tépkhanah, and it is 
much to be regretted that men like him had not charge of the 
library from the commencement. 

Though not strictly connected with the subject, the reader will 
perhaps be glad to obtain some information regarding the Lucnow 
printing offices. 

Ghaziy aldyn Haydar founded a typography at great expense, 
and one of the works—the Haft Qulzum—which issued from it 
has attained a greater celebrity in Europe than it enjoys in India. 

Besides this Dictionary, the following books have been printed 
in types at Lucnow: 

The praise of Ghiziy aldyn Haydar, in Arabic,‏ رالمناقب احیدریة

8vo. 131 pp.‏ ,1239 

Panjstrah or the five Sürahs of the Qoran usually repeated in 
prayers, s. A. 4to. printed in the form of a Toghra.

seven volumes, large folio, only four volumes have been printed 
in types, s. A. the remaining three have been lithographed, Vol. I. 
725 pp.; Vol. 11. 624 pp.; Vol. 111. 252 pp.; Vol. IV. 176 pp.; 
Vol. V. 594 pp.; Vol. VI. 408 pp.; Vol. VII. 138 pp. 


۷1 . PREFACE. 


. About the year 1830, Mr. Archer who had established a 
lithographic printing office at Cawnpore came at the request of 
Nacyr aldyn Haydar to Lucnow with his press and entered his 
service. ۱ 

The first book lithographed at Lucnow is the ؛4جة مرضیه‎ being 
a commentary on the Alfyyah, by Soytity, 1247, 8vo. 247 pp. 

When I was at Lucnow there were twelve private lithographic 
presses in that city. Those of Hajy Mohammad Hosayn and 
Moctafa Khén were by far the best. Some editions of the former 
are particularly correct. In 1849, Kamal aldyn Haydar, Mun- 
shiy to the observatory, wishing to ingratiate himself at court, 
wrote a history of the Royal family of Oudh. Two passages hap- 
pened to displease His Majesty, and instantly the observatory was 
abolished and printing was forbidden at Lucnow, lest this objec- 
tionable production might be published. The proprietor of the 
Masyhay press went on the suggestion of the author of these pages 
to Cawnpore, and most other printers followed him. Some however, 
among them Moçtafa Khan, managed to keep at the same time 
an establishment at Lucnow. As they usually put, on the title 
page only, the name of the press and not of the place, it is not. 
always possible to determine whether a book was printed at Luc- 
now or Cawnpore if it has been published after the Exodus. 

The number of works lithographed at Lucnow and Cawnpore’ 
may amount to about seven hundred. Some of them have gone 
through more than ten editions. The books most in request 
are of course school books and such other dialectical and reli- 
gious tracts as every Mawlawy reads or pretends to read. But we 
already observe symptoms that the press is enlarging the narrow 
cycle of learning, and, what is more important, that it ۰ 
education to all classes and even to ladies. ‘Twenty years ago 
verses of the Qoran were repeated as prayers and charms, and 
even the whole book was learned by heart, but without being 
understood, and the Sunnah was almost unknown; in our days 
people are gradually beginning to study the book, and I shall have 
to describe several commentaries on it in Arabic, Persian and 
Hindustany which have lately been published. The study of the 
traditions or Sunnah is making even more rapid progress than 
that of the Qoran. : Not only have the. principal collections been 
published in Arabic but we have Persian and Hindtistény trans- 


PREFACE. ۷11 


lations of the Mishkat and Mashariq alanwaér which have gone 
through more than one edition. After the Musalméns had, 
several centuries ago, entirely lost sight of the original idea of 
their religion, they are now beginning to make their sacred books 
intelligible to all. This must lead to results, analogous to those 
which the translation and study of the Bible produced in Europe. 

One of the most remarkable results of the progress of printing 
is the rapid increase of periodical and light literature. India is the 
only country in the old continent in which the press is entirely free, 
and there is hardly a town in the upper provinces in which there 
are not several newspapers published. Of late, several tales and 
religious works written expressly for ladies have been printed, and 
seem to meet with a rapid sale. Though the new literature which 
is rising has not much intrinsic value, things are progressing 
as rapidly and as healthily as they did in Europe, when the art of 
printing came first into vogue. The tendency is oriental and 
Mofammadan, but already a spirit of liberality is manifesting 
itself, which is the natural result of progress from school-learn- 
ing and court refinement to a general civilization. 

It was originally intended that this volume should comprise 
eight chapters, the fourth of which was to contain Persian gram- 
mars, dictionaries, letters and letter-forms and works in elegant 
prose, the fifth, the corresponding Hindustény books, and the 
last three, translations from the Sanskrit and Hindy into Persian 
or Hindustany, and Turky (Chaghatay) and Pushtü books. 1t was 
further intended to add an appendix containing omissions and a 
table of the contents of Walih, Khéshgu, the A’tishkadah, &c. and 
to conclude the volume with three indexes, one of proper names, 
one of book-titles, and one of initial lines. But before the third 
chapter had been put to press the compiler was obliged to apply 
for leave of absence on sick certificate for two years, and to content 
himself with publishing the book in its present form. Should it 
be continued, what is wanting in this volume will be added to the 
second ; which in addition will contain the biographies and writ- 
ings of Arabic lexicographers, grammarians, poets and elegant 
prose writers. The remaining volumes will be devoted to the 
sciences of the Musalmaéns: in the third, for instance, will be 
described the biographies and works of Qufies or mystical philo- 
sophers and theologists. . 


Vili PREFACE. 


In transcribing oriental names and words into English, I 
have adopted the principle which is followed in transcribing 
from one European language into another. A Frenchman spells 
Brougham, Peel and Goethe, and not Broum, Pile and Gueuté and 
his readers, however erroneously they may pronounce these names, 
know what persons are meant. This is the object. Writing is 
a symbol for the eye, aud pronunciation must be acquired by 
the ear. I have substituted for every Arabic and Persian letter 
a Roman letter, in some instances however, as I did not choose to 
have new types cast, it was unfortunately necessary to employ 
two Roman representatives for one oriental symbol, as ch= g ; 
sh— زش‎ zh=4; dh= حول ;& طا رض‎ 3; ta .ظ‎ The 
hamzah is rendered by a diaeresis, alif where it is of any use 
at all, and the quiescent w, if preceded by an u, are represented 
by an accent; cs is always expressed by y and if it isa long 
vowel, the i which precedes it is omitted as “fy.” For expressing 
the ’ayn an apostrophe (’) is used, and with a view to impress 
upon the reader that in words like ’amr or ’ysa, ayn is the first 
and the vowel the second letter, I do not use a capital a or y.

THE marrow of the productions of intellect by Mo- 
hammad ’awfy. He tells us in folio 155 that he was 
in 600 at Nasd and met Majd aldyn the author of a 
Shahanshah-namah, and we have from him besides this 
work, a collection of historical anecdotes جامع العکایات‎ 
which, it is stated in the preface thereto, he compiled 
in 625. It is therefore clear that he flourished towards 
the end of the sixth and in the beginning of the seventh 
century of the Hijrah, and wrote this book after the 
year 600. It would appear that he was a native of 
Marw which under the Seljûq Princes was the capital 
of Persia. In the seventh chapter is an account of his 
grandfather and of one of his maternal uncles, both of 
whom were according to Mr. B. Elliott’s copy of Marw, 
but according to mine of Ma-wara-Inahr. The book is 
dedicated to the Wazyr ’ayn almulk Abt-l-Makaérim 
Hosayn b. Radhyy aldawlah Abû Bakr Ash’ary. Hajy 
Khalyfah No. 2821, calls the author erroneously Moam- 
mad ۰

2 PERSIAN TADZKIRAHS. [CHAP. I. 


This is the most ancient Tadzkirah that I have seen, 
and, if we believe the author, the first that has been 
compiled. As the title indicates, it is rather an antho- 
logy than a biographical work. It is divided into 12 
chapters. The first four chapters treat on the meaning 
and origin of poetry and fill only 8 pages. The fifth 
and sixth chapters contain notices of Kings, Princes and 
Wazyrs who have written poetry, the former fills 32 
and the latter 60 pages. 

7th Chapter: Imams and other eminent men who 
distinguished themselves by their poetical talents but 
were not poets by profession, 70 pages. 

8th Chapter: (twelve) Poets of the courts of the 
Tahir, Layth and Saman families, 8 pages. 

9th: Poets of the court of the Nacir family, (28 poets ; 
28 pages.) 

10th: Poets who were patronized by the Seljtiq princes 
to the end of the reign of Sulfadn Sa’yd, (39 poets; 92 
pages.) 

11th Chapter: Poets from the time of Sanjar (who 
died in A. H. 552) to the present reign. 

12th Chapter: Poets at the court of the present 
sovereign. 

A very full and learned notice of this work has been 
given by Mr. N. Bland, Journ. Royal As. Soc. London, 
Vol. IX. p. 112.

The only copy which I have seen of this book isina private collec-

in an elegant hand and tolerably correct ; but of the preface two or 
three and at the end many pages are wanting.” It ends with the first 
line of the biography of Nitzdmy and is probably the same copy

Tadzkirah, i. e. Memoranda of poets by Dawlat-shéh b. 
alû aldawlah Bakhty-shéh. He completed this book in 
A. H. 892, and dedicated it to the poet and wazyr Myr 
alyy Shyr. It appears from the preface that Dawlat-shah 
was fifty years of age when he commenced this labour. 
The book is divided into a preface مقدمه‎ which con- 
tains notices of nine Arabic poets and seven chapters, 
طبقات‎ answering to the spheres of the seven planets, and a 
conclusion. Each chapter contains about twenty poets and 
the conclusion contains the lives of six contemporaries, 
among them are Jamy, ’alyy Shyr, A’cafy and Sohayly. 
This is one of the best known and most useful 
Tadzkirahs. It contains valuable historical details 
besides the biography of poets. Ilahy p. 121, says on 
this book and its author “ Dawlat-shah: his tadz- 
kirah contains 180 biographies and is very celebrated. 
Though he does not quote many good verses, the histori- 
cal and biographical portion of his work is done in a 
masterly manner and shows much research, ’alyy Shyr 
informs us in his Tadzkirah that he is the cousin of

Gems of curiosities being a Tadzkirah of poetesses by 
Fakhry b. Amyry of Herat. The author informs us that 
with the intention to perform the pilgrimage to Makkah, 
he came during the reign of Shah Jahmasb Hosayny 
(reigned from 930 to 984) to Sind, the ruler of that coun- 
try was then Mokammad ’ysa Tarkhan (died in 974,) 
and it would appear that he wrote this book at his Court. 
Ilahy who frequently quotes this book under the title 
of الذساء‎ $543 or “ Biography of Ladies” gives the follow- 
ing notice of Fakhry : “ Fakhry Herawy was a friend of 
Myr ’alyy Shyr. Some say this is the same Fakhry who 
has been mentioned in the preceding article.” In the 
preceding article he says, “Sulfan Mohammad Amyry, 
whose takhalluc is Fakhry, was a distinguished man 
and lived to the time of Shah Tahmésb. He praised 
this sovereign in his poems and he is the Translator of 
Amyr ’alyy Shyr’s Tadzkirah called Mapdlis alnafayis* 
from Turky into Persian. He added notices of some

441 biographies. Baron von Hammer-Purgstall, who possesses a copy of 
it, has given a notice of the work and a list of the biographies in the cata-

poets of the second period. He is also the author 
of the Bostan alkhayal الخيال‎ yt which رت‎ the 
matla’s of the ghazals of various poets of his age.” 

It will be observed that Fakhry and Amyry are one 
and the same person according to this passage, whereas 
according to the Tadzkirah under notice, Fakhry was the 
son of Amyry. Ina note to p. 263 Ilahy says equally, 
that Fakhry Sultan Mokammad was a son of Amyry, 
that he translated the Majdlis alnafayis and that he gave 
to the translation the title Latdyif ndmah. The author ' 
of the Kholdcah says of this work, “ Among the works of 
Myr ’alyy Shyr is the Majdlis alnafdyis which he wrote 
in the Turky language. Mawland Sultan Mohammad 
Amyry has translated it into Persian and has added at 
the end one Majlis. This book contains an account of 
many poets and learned men who flourished from the 
reign of Sa’yd Shahrokh to the time of Shah Ismda’yl.” 
It will be observed that according to this author the trans- 
lator of the Majdlis was Amyry. This is probably 
eorrect, Amyry is the translator of the Majalis, and a 
contemporary of Myr ’alyy Shyr, and his son Fakhry is 
the author of this Tadzkirah. 

In the preface is the following chronogram خود را چو‎ 
عم و مصانب ديدم‎ Kad ز خود بھ رتو عاب دیدم تارب‎ I suspect 
there is a mistake in it and would propose to read the

The butter of poems and the cream of conceits being 
a Tadzkirah of Persian poets by Taqyy aldyn Moham- 
mad b. Sharaf aldyn ’alyy Hosayny Dsxikry. He was 
born at Kashan about A. H. 946. He is very particular 
in giving us the dates on which he completed various 
portions of his work. In 985 be completed in four 
volumes notices of the poets who had lived before his 
time and in 993 he added a volume containing biogra- 
phies of contemporaneous poets after he had spent four- 
teen years on the completion of his work. A friend of 
his embodied this date in the following chronogram : 
جلد جا گرفت چو گنس‎ w= ر‎ ۳ en -¥ Si یاب شین‎ ey چون‎ 
بر پد کناب تةي افزود م بذج‎ eu تا هر یکرا درست باشف‎ 

<“ When the five books of the Biographer Taqyy were 
deposited in volumes like a treasury I added to fix the 
date five to the five books of Taqyy.” The letters of the 
Persian words for five books of Taqyy have the numerical 
value 988 and if you add five, you have the above date. 
After the completion of the work he made many additions 
and in 1016, he informs us, he found it recessary to publish 
a new edition in six volumes and the words ست #جلدات لازم‎ 
1. e. sia volumes are required give precisely the date of 
this new edition. 

The book is divided into an introduction four chapters 
رگن‎ and a conclusion dts, 


14 PERSIAN ۰ ] 0013۸۳. I. 


The introduction treats on the utility of the work and 
on mystical love. The author enters on the latter sub- 
ject at great length. 

Ist Chapter. Fifty-four ancient poets beginning 
from the time of Sabaktegyn. They composed chiefly 
qaçydahs. The latest of them flourished in the eighth 
century. 

2nd. Poets who excelled in the ghazal (Lyric poetry) 
and some of the later of that class of poets who com- 
posed chiefly qacydahs. Forty-two poets, most of whom 
flourished in the eighth century but some at the begin- 
ning of the ninth. 

3rd. Forty-nine modern poets most of whom wrote 
ghazals and were of the ninth century; some few of 
them are of the tenth century of the Hijrah. 

4th. One hundred and one poets who flourished from 
the time of Sultan Hosayn Mirza to the time of the author. 

The appendix 4 \S contains notices of contemporane- 
ous poets, many of whom the author knew personally. 
They are divided into twelve chapters, according to the 
towns or provinces in which they were born. In the 
Second Edition an alphabetical list of poets is added, 
who sent to him specimens of their compositions after the 
book had been completed. 

This work contains the fullest biographical details, the 
most copious and best chosen extracts, (seldom less than a 
thousand verses and in all 350,000 couplets,) the sound- 
est critical and most exact and complete bibliographical 
remarks on the Persian poets; the author seems, in all 
instances, to have consulted their Dywans, and to have 
collected all the information respecting them he could, 
the only fault is that he dwells at too great a length on

the love adventures of the subjects of his biography 
which are generally most disgusting. A very full account 
of this work has been given by Mr. Bland, Journ. As. 
Soc. London, Vol. IX. p. 126.

In the Moty Ma/all library, two volumes, (the third and the last,) 
of the first edition are preserved. They were executed in A. H. 
1004, and therefore before the second edition was made. They are 
in 4to., have 25 lines in a page, the writing is small but very correct, 
and there are two distiches in a line. The third volume, which 
contains the second chapter, has 860 pages, and the last, which 
contains the whole of the conclusion, has 750 pages. Mr. Hall of

Gems of distinguished actions being a biographical 
Dictionary of Persian poets by Mirzé ’ala aldawlah 
Qazwyny whose Takhalluc is Kamy. Badawny men- 
tions him among the poets who flourished during Akbar’s 
reign but gives no details of his life. It would however 
appear that he was alive when Badawny wrote, in 1004. 
The title is a chronogram for the date when this compi- 
lation was begun, viz. 973; it was completed according to 
a Postscript in 979, but there occur much later dates in it. 

It contains notices of about 350 poets in alphabetical 
order. Most of them flourished in India during the reign 
of Akbar, to whom the book is dedicated, or of his pre- 
decessors. The author used besides the tadzkirahs of 
Dawlat-shah, ’alyy Shyr, &c. several historical and geogra- 
phical works which enabled him in many instances to 


No. 10.[ NAFA YIS ALMA ۰ 47 


state the date, and he made it a point to give details on 
the geography of places which he mentions.

[lahy’s treasury, containing the biography of about 
four hundred Persian poets alphabetically arranged by 
*imad aldyn Mahmud Ilahy Hosayny. The title of the 
book and name of the author occur in the life of Adzory. 
11۸۲ is mentioned by Tahir Nacrabady and in the 
A'tishkadah p. 341 and it is stated there that he was a 
native of Asadabad in Hamadan and that he spent a great 
part of his life in India and died there. Sarkhtish says 
that he came to India under Jahangyr, but neither of 
these authors mention his name. According to the Ha- 
myshah Bahar his name was Myr Cadr aldyn Moham- 
mad ’alyy, he was the son of the physician Mokam- 
mad Shyrazy and was a native of Hamadan, he came to 
India in A. H. 1010, and found great favor at the 
Court of the emperor and on account of his medical 
skill he received the title of the Messiah of the age. 
Either this statement refers to a different individual or 
it is full of errors. Jlahy himself informs us in p. 112 
that he went in 1010 to Ispahan for the sake of prosecut- 
ing his studies and stayed there three and a half years; 
and in page 365 he says that in 1015 he went to Shyraz 
for the same purpose, and in one passage he mentions 
that he was at Thanéser which is one hundred miles 
N. W. from Dilly. Siraj mentions Myr Ilahy Hamadany 
and places his death in 1064. . His poems are much ad- 
mired and he left a considerable Dywan. 

The author mentions in this Tadzkirah chiefly poets of 
the 9th and 10th centuries of the Hijrah whom he calls 
,شعرای متوسطتین‎ He also mentions some of the eighth

ties which he uses are principally the Samy (see p. 12 
supra), Myr ’alyy Shyr (see p. 9), and Taqyy ۵۲ 
(see below), and Fakhry (p. 9). He also quotes the T'adz- 
kirah of Khwajah Amyn aldyn Hasan Nithary نڈاري‎ (in 
one passage he writes (نزاري‎ but gives us no information 
respecting him, except that he wrote his work in Ma- 
wara-lInahr. In Tadzkirahs five poets of this takhalluc 
are mentioned, 1. Nithary Tiny who died in 971 or 968 
and is the author of a Dywan of Ghazals and Qacydah 
and of a Mathnawy in the same measure as the King and 
the Beggar; 2. Nithary Tabryzy; 3. Nithary Qazwyny ; 
4. Nithary Bokhary, his name is Baha aldyn Hasan and 
he is most likely the author of the Tadzkirah. 5. Nitha- 
ry Astrabady. He also quotes the مقالة (لابرار‎ whichis a 
biography of Ciifies and the Majalis of ’abd al-Qadir 
Maraghahi. The book has no preface and has never 
been completed and it is therefore perfectly unknown.

Nacrabady’s biographies of poets. The full name of 
the author was Mokammad Tahir, he was born at سول‎ 
crabad which is in the district of Ispahén in 1025 or 
1027. He lost his father before he was twenty years of 
age and gave himself for some time up to pleasure, but 
poverty, which was the more painful because some of 
his ancestors had been so wealthy as to be able to 
build schools and colleges, brought him to his senses, and 
henceforth he led a pious life. He wrote this book about 
1083, but added eight or nine biographies in 1092. His 
grandfather had been settled in India and his uncle 
Myrza Cadiq had been in the Indian army and died in 
this country in 1061. 

The author tells us in the preface that the lives of 
former poets were recorded in the Tadzkirahs of Mokam-

Kashy, and as there was no merit in copying the labours 
of others,he resolved upon writing the biographies of con- 
temporaneous poets and giving way to the wishes of his 
friends, he added at the end, a chapter خانمه‎ containing 
chronograms, logogriphs, &c. of modern and ancient poets. 
The book is divided into five chapters .صف‎ The intro-

could take a fair copy and publish the work he was 
called away by the invasion of Nadir Shah to Kot 
Kangra with the army, and he remained seven or eight 
years in the Panjab. In 1155 he returned to Dilly, and 
gave his work to his master Arzt for correction, he made 
some glosses and added a preface which in this copy fills 
only two pages. Though the author gives us these par- 
ticulars of his life, he does not mention his own name. 


No. 17.] SAFYNAHE KHU ۰ 131 


From Arzt’s preface it would appear that Khtishgi 
(eloquent) was his takhulluc. In the Tadzkirah of Hayrat 
it is stated that the name of Khtshgi was Bindraban, 
that he was a native of Benares and of the Bania caste, 
and that he was the author of. a Tadzkirah. In the 
postscript to the second volume of this work, which was 
executed at Dilly in 1191, it is said ذواریخ الشعراء در احوال‎ 

vals? ظهوري‎ des” ,شاعران تصدیف مواانا دور الدبن‎ 6 History of 
the poets, that is to say, notices of poets by Mawlana Nûr 
aldyn Mohammad whose takhalluç is Tzohtiry.” This 
is certainly wrong, for Nur aldyn Tzohitry lived a century 
before this book was written, and no biographer mentions 
a Tadzkirah of his. Sir G. Ouseley, Not. of Pers. Poets 
p. 172, mentions this Tadzkirah, and ascribes it to Bin- 
draban Khüshgü, but he makes him erroneously a con- 
temporary of Akbar. 

The book is divided into three volumes. The first con- 
tains the ancient poets in chronological order, in all 362 
notices. The second part begins with Jamy and ends 
with Mirza Ahmad Bég, whose date is not mentioned, 
but immediately before him is a more celebrated name 
that of Myrza Majdzib who composed the Mathnawy 
Shahrahé Najat in 1006. This part contains 545 bio- 
graphies. The third part is by far the most important, 
inasmuch as it contains contemporary poets, but unfor- 
tunately I have never seen a copy of it.

Gardens of poets by ’alyy Quly Khén Daghistany 
whose takhallue is Walih, and the book is therefore 
usually called the Tadzkirah of Walih. He was born 
at Ispahan in 1124. Whilst he was pursuing his studies 
he fell in love with his cousin Khadyjah Sulfin, but his 
union with her was prevented by “revolution of fortune 
and the breaking out of the Afghan invasion.” This 
romantic attachment has become the theme of a Math- 
nawy. In 1147, he came to India where he composed 
this work in 1161, and died in 1170. In the Atishkadah 
this book is called the Tadzkirah of ’alyy Quly Legzy. 

This is an universal biographical dictionary of Per- 
sian poets, and contains about 2500 articles. The biogra- 
phical notices are short, but generally speaking correct, 
and he usually gives a sufficient number of specimens 
from their compositions. In India this Tadzkirah is 
more esteemed than any other.

in 1101 either at Agra or Gwalyar, but brought up in 
the former city. According to some, his forefathers were 
descended from Chiragh Dilly a Saint, and according to 
others from Mokammad Gwalyary equally a Saint. Some 
authors unite these two statements by saying that his 
father Hosam aldyn Hosdm was descended from Kamal 
aldyn a nephew of the former Saint, and his mother from 
the latter. For some time he had an office of some im- 
portance at Gwalyar. In A. H. 1132 he came to Dilly 
and met in 1147 the poet Hazyn who had just come 
from Persia to this country. The jealousy between the 
two poets induced Arzû to write a treatise entitled 
الغافلیں‎ 4.455 in which he points out the errors in Hazyn’s 
poems. After the fall of Dilly, Arz& went to Lucnow, 
where he died in A. H. 1169. He compiled this work

it occurred to him that it would enhance the value of the

and he therefore altered the original plan of his work, 
yet he paid much less attention to the biographies than 
to the extracts, and he therefore hopes that the readers 
will not be too severe on him if they discover faults.

The miracle-working hand being a biography of Per- 
sian poets by Myr Gholam ‘alyy whose takhalluc was 
Azad (independent), he was born in A. H. 1116 at Bel- 
gram in Oudh, and hence he is called Belgramy, and he 
derived his origin from the Imam Zayn ’abidyn a descend- 
ant of Hosayn and his ancestors, had resided in Wasi¢ and 
hence he is also called Hosayny Wasity. In A. H. 1134 
he went to Dilly to prosecute his studies and he returned 
after two years to his home. In 1142 he made his second 
journey and proceeded through Lahor and Multan to 
Sywistan. In A. H. 1147 he visited Agra and ۸۵ 
to meet his father. In 1150 he set out for the pilgrim- 
age to the Ka’bah and remained two years in Arabia to 
prosecute his studies. On his return to India he remained 
for some time at Awrangabad. He died about 1200.

The rich treasury being a biographical dictionary of 
Persian poets by the same author as the preceding two 
works, who compiled this in 1176. 

It contains one hundred and six biographies in alpha- 
betical order, and presents such a mixture of names of 
celebrated poets of ancient and modern times and power- 
ful Nawabs who were alive when he wrote, that his chief 
object in compiling it, seems to have been to flatter the 
vanity of his patrons. He complains of the barrenness 
of other Tadzkirahs, and it must be allowed that he has

collected more details regarding the life of the poets he 
mentions, than most other biographers, and he sometimes 
explains their verses, but the chief merit of the book 
consists in his giving us a very full list of the sources at 
his disposal. This list has been made good use of by 
Mr. Bland in his learned memoir on the earliest Persian 
biography of poets. All the works occurring in it have 
already been described, except the following : 


1. Haft Iqlym compiled by Myrz4 Amyn in A. H. 1002 (see 
chap. on Geogr. and Hist. infra). 

2. Badawny (see Sir H. Elliot’s Indian Hist. and p. 55 supra). 

3. Majma’ al-fodhala or assemblage of distinguished men, a Tadz- 
kirah from the beginning of poetry to the reign of Akbar by Molla 
Baqayiy. He may be identical with Baqayiy of Qomm see p. 56 
supra. 

4. Hayat alsho’ard, life of poets, a special Tadzkirah of the poets 
who flourished from Bahadur Shah (succeeded to the throne in A. ۰ 
1118) to Mohammad Shah (succeeded in 1131) by Mohammad ’alyy ۰ 
Khan Matyn of Kashmyr, see page 159 infra. 

6. Safynahé By-khabar the Ark of By-khabar compiled in 1141. 
The author’s name is ’atzmat Allah b. Lutf Allah Hosayny Wasity 
Belgramy By-khabar. He was a mystical poet and died at Dilly 
in 1142. 

7—8. Gol صبے‎ the Dawn of morning and the Tadzkirah of 
Mollé Qéti’y. 1 can find no account of these two books and their 
authors. It is likely that there is a notice of them in the Sarwe 
Azad. 

9. The Tadzkirah of Naétzim Tabryzy, see pp. 103 and 104 supra. 

10, 8549 مردم‎ by Shah ’abd al-Hakym of Léhér whose takhallug 
was Hakim see p. 155 infra, the Tadzkirah was compiled at Awranga- 
bad in 1175. It contains an account of those poets with whom the 
author was acquainted. 

11. بی نظیر‎ £555 the Tadzkirah without equal, (or perhaps the 
Tadzkirah of By-Natzyr) by Myr ’abd al-Wahhab Dawlatabady who 
compiled it according to the notes of the Khazénah which I have 
taken from the Lucnow copy in 1172, and according to Mr. Bland 
in 1178. Bland adds on the authority of Azid “and of which 


No. 25.] A'ZA'D. 145 


year the name forms the date” In the copy of the Asiatic Socie- 
ty the book is omitted but the words wt وهمین اسم تاریۓ ثالیف‎ 
است‎ occur in it. The words تذکرد بینظیر‎ form no such date and 
there must therefore be some mistake in Azid. The only manner 
in which I can obtain the date of 1172, is by changing the title 
1000 .تذکرت الشعرای بینظیر‎ I dare say this is the correct reading. 

In order to complete this list, I add the names of six Tadzkirahs 
from Mr. Bland’s Memoir above referred to. 

1. تذکرات الشعرا‎ Cle), Extracts from Tadzkirahs, compiled by 
an anonymous author in 1172. It contains one hundred and fifty 
short biographies of poets in alphabetical order with specimens of 
their verses. A copy of this book is in the India House, No. 47, 
154 pp. of 15 lines. 

2. خلاصة الکلام‎ and “حف ابراهیم‎ seo No. 45 infra. 

3. شاف‎ UU الشعرا‎ $5535 The Tadzkirah of Baba Shah, mentioned 
by Hajy Khalyfah who wrote in 1062. Mr. Bland p. 168 supposes 
that Baba Shéh is identical with Shah Shubly, who was a contem- 
porary of Taqyy Awhady and skilled in versification, he wrote a 
Mathnawy in the measure of the Tohfat al’iraqayn and a Tadzkirah. 
But the author may be identical with the calligraph Baba Shah of 
Ispahén who flourished, it would appear from Khishgi, about the 
same time as Hakym ی‎ who died in 1004, see also p. 28 
supra No. 318. 

4. لطائف الخيال‎ by Mohammad Çali who completed the work 
in 1104. This is a mere anthology and contains no biographies, the 
extracts are alphabetically arranged according to the last letter of 
the rhymes like Dywans. 

5. گل رعنا‎ The Beautiful Rose by Lachmy Narayan, who we are 
informed by Mr. Erskine, flourished towards the end of the last or 
beginning of this century of our era. , 

6. بیاض باطني‎ quoted in the i of ’alyy Ibrahym Khan 
Khalyl.

A Dywan ۶ selections by Siraj aldyn Hosayny of 
Awrangabad whose takhallu¢ is Siraj. The author in- 


No. 29.[ SIRA’J. 149 


forms us in the preface, that he had from the age of 
twelve a great prediliction for mysticism and poetry, and 
he therefore placed himself under the tuition of Burhan 
aldyn Gharyb, and subsequently in 1160 under that of 
‘abd al-Rahman Chishty. During this period he used to 
give vent to his feelings in poetical effusions in Rékhtah, 
which were collected by ’abd al-Rastl Khan and formed a 
Dywan of 5000 verses. Subsequently he gave up com- 
posing poetry, and devoted his time to collecting and 
studying the works of ancient and modern masters. But 
finding that he had great difficulty in moving his library 
in travelling, he made selections from them, and arranged 
them alphabetically according to the names of the poets. 
In this manner this work grew up which he completed 
in 1169. 

It contains extracts from no less than 680 poets. 
Wherever the author knows the date of the demise of a 
poet, he mentions it, but he gives no other biographical 
details. The arrangement is not very clear, he goes 
through the alphabet at least ten times.

152 PERSIAN TADZKIRAHS. [Cuap. I. 


(30) باغ معانی‎ (P.) 


The Garden of Meaning being a biography of Persian 
poets, apparently consisting of three or four large folio 
Volumes of which I have seen only the second. The 
author’s name is not mentioned in it, it may be by ۴ 
Ibrahym Khan, see No. 45 infra. 

This Volume contains the third, fourth and fifth parts 
wee The preceding two parts may treat on quite dif- 
ferent subjects. In the third part are short biographies 
of about 157 men, who distinguished themselves through 
their poetical talents in alphabetical order. The latest 
whom I found among them is Shah ’4lam, who it appears 
was on the throne of Dilly when the book was written 
(reign 1173—1201.) The title is probably a chronogram 
for 1174. 

The fourth part comprises the lives of about 226 
Wazyrs and Nobles, who have written poetry. 

The fifth contains notices of about 322 professional 
poets who flourished from the time of Harûn al-Rashyd 
to A. H. 800 equally in alphabetical order.

Tadzkirah which has the title of مقالات شعرا‎ Tt is by inayat Talab-Khan 
whose takhallue was Yawar son of Rahmat Yar-Kh4n. He commenced 
his work in 1139 and completed it in 1143 or 1145, (the title is apparently 
intended for a chronogram for the former date). It contains about 220

Pithy Sayings of the poets, being a Tadzkirah of Rékh- 
tah writers by Myr Mokammad Taqyy, whose takhalluc 
was Myr. Though usually the title Myr is put before 
his name, Shérish thinks that he was a Shaykh. The for- 
mer title indicates a descendant from ‘alyy, and the latter 
from Abû Bakr. He was a nephew of Arzû and a native 
of Agra, but after his father’s death he removed to Dilly 
in order to be near his illustrious uncle, Arzi, who cor- 
rected his verses. After the year 1196, he went to Lucnow 
where Acaf aldawlah allowed him a pension of two or 
three hundred Rupees a month, and he died in that city 
between 1215 and 1221, near one hundred years of age. 
Qasim blames him for his conceit and for making in his 
Tadzkirah ill-natured remarks on his contemporaries. 

Myr wrote this book about one year after the death of 
Mokhlic which happened in 1164, see p. 159 supra. 
There occurs in it in the life of Dard the date 1196, 
but it was clearly inserted long after the book had been 
completed, this is proved by the following facts: it is put 
into the midst of the extracts, instead of forming part of 
the biography ; Myr’s Tadzkirah is mentioned by Hayrat; 


176 RE 16 1171۸ 1۲ ۰ [CHAP. I. 


see p. 159 supra, who wrote in 1174, and it has been 
used by Shérish who died in 1195; moreover Arzii, who 
died in 1169, was still alive when it was written. 

It contains near one hundred very short biographies 
which, as well as the observations on their verses, are 
written in Persian. In the preface is the following defi- 
nition of Rékhtah poetry :— _

“Be it known that up to this day, no book has been‏ 
written containing a record of the Rékhtah poets. Rékh-‏

Persian poetry, but in the language of the exalted court‏ 
of Dilly. Consequently the compilation of this book‏ 
which has the title of Pithy Sayings of the poets has‏ 
been undertaken. Though Rékhtah had its origin in the‏ 
Deccan, I do not begin with the poets of that country,‏ 
because it has not produced one great master. I do there-‏ 
fore not commence with them, but I have no intention‏ 
entirely to omit them, but shall mention some of them.”‏ 
In the conclusion of the book he gives some further‏ 
details on Rékhtah style :—‏

The Tadzkirah of Rékhtah poets by Fath ۵1۳۲ who is

in 1165, or six years after the death of Anjam, which 
happened in 1159, and a few years after the death of 
Ishtiyéq, which took place in 1161. It appears from 
Dzoka voce Yisof, that he was a great Cafy Shaykh and 
still alive when Dzokaé wrote, even Qasim whv wrote in 
1221, speaks of him as if he was alive. Gurdézy says 
in the preface, that he was induced to compile this book 
because the accounts of poets in other Tadzkirahs were 
very invidious. He alludes evidently to Myr’s Tadzkirah 
of which this appears to be a somewhat better arranged 
edition. It is written in Persian and contains about 
one hundred biographies in alphabetical order.

The Depository of pithy Sayings by Qiyam aldyn 
Mohammad Qdyim of Chandpûr: He went early to 
Dilly, and obtained there an office under the emperor, but 
now, he says in his short autobiographical notice inserted 
in this book, owing to the decay of the empire, the string 
which has kept the servants of the emperor together is 
broken and they drop like pearls on the ground of humi- 
liation. Every one turns his face to another side, and 
is obliged against his will to prefer emigrating to another 
place to remaining. He died in 1210 or 1207. The title is 
a chronogram for 1168 when he compiled this book. He 
denies in the preface every acquaintance with the preced- 
ing two Tadzkirahs, saying that no biography of Rékhtah 
poets had ever been written, but he choses so frequently the 
same extracts as his predecessors, that I doubt the truth of 
his assertion, though his book undeniably contains much 
original matter. He divides it into three chapters or

ina letter dated Patna, 19th July, 1852, informs me 
that one of the Persian Tadzkirahs is called Kholaçat ا‎ 
alkalam and contains Mathnawies, and the other Cohofe 
Ibrahym, containing Qacydahs, Ghazals, &c. The former 
is ‘very rare and the latter probab}y not extant. “I have 
made, he continues, inquiries from relatives, &c. and all 
that I can make out is, that he collected materials (poetry) 
for the work, but did not live to complete it. I have two 
volumes of unarranged materials. But he did complete 
the Bayadh and critical notices of all the poets, this’ is 
what Mr. Bland ‘calls ` the 60/06. It is a very thick,

closely written 8vo. and is I believe unique, I met with 
it by mere accident.” Ina letter to Mr. Bland which 
is printed in the Journ. Roy. As. Soc. IX. p. 159, 
Mr. Elliott gives the following further details. 6 
Kholdcat alkalim is appropriated to selections from, 
and abstracts of the Mathnawies of seventy-eight poets, 
who have produced the most approved works in that 
style of poetry. It is contained in two large quarto 
volumes of 2005 pages, each page containing four lines 
in breadth and twenty-one in length. To give some 
idea of the extent of the work, I may mention that a 
large royal octavo volume of 694 closely written. pages 
is filled solely with the biographical notices of 3263 poets. 
The poetical extracts of this scarce work are not in. my 
possession.” , From Mr. Bland’s notice of the Bayadh it 
appears that the author completed it in 1205. Now as 
he had completed two Persian Tadzkirahs previous to 
1195 and as the Cohof have never been completed, he 
must have written another Tadzkirah, with the name of 
which we are not acquainted. Ytsof ’alyy Khan informs 
that he was engaged in compiling a Tadzkirah of Persian 
poets on a very large plan in 1180. 

This Tadzkirah was compiled during the years 1195 
and 1196, and is distinguished by the copiousness of the 
extracts, and by the pains which the author has taken in 
fixing the dates. It appears that he entered into corre- 
spondence with most contemporary poets to obtain in- 
formation of themselves, and extracts from their Dywans 
for insertion. The biographies are in Persian.

The Tadzkirah of Sayyid صفلمط6‎ Hosayn who is

Shérish. He was a native of Patna and a nephew of 
Molla Myr Wahyd. He was first a pupil of Myr Bagir 
who had the poetical names of Hazyn and of Tzohûr, 
and who died previous to 1193; and subsequently of 
Myrza Ghasyta *ishqy. He was a good improvisatore 
and had written, when he compiled this book, a Persian 
Dywan of about 4000 verses most of which dwell on mys- 
ticism. He died in 1195, and he probably compiled this 
book in 1193; for the latest date that occurs in it is 
1192, and men who died in 1194 are mentioned as 
being alive. It has no preface or title page, nor does it 
appear from the autobiography that Shorish is the 
author of it, (though he speaks in the article on Shérish 
in the present tense,) the only authority which I have 
for ascribing it to him is the postscript which runs شورش‎

celebrity as early as 1195. Subsequently he went to 
Lucnow, and it would appear from ’ishqy he supported 
himself by commerce. He died according to the Gul- 
shane Békhar about the year 1243. When he wrote this 
Tadzkirah, in 1209, he had composed two Persian Dywans, 
one in answer to Nacyry Nayshaptry and the other 
containing original poems and three 0۲۸۵ Dywans, a 
Persian Tadzkirah, a part of a Shahnamah which comes 
down to the geneology of Shah ’alam, an Urdi Dywan 
containing verses which he had made at Dilly and a 
rough copy of a Persian Dywan in the style of Jalal 
Asyr, and one in the style of Nacir ’alyy, but both these 
were stolen from him. It appears from the Gulshane 
Békhar that he continued his literary activity after he 
had written this book, and composed three more Rékhtah 
Dywans, and another Tadzkirah of Rékhtah poets. 

He wrote this Tadzkirah at the request of his instruc- 
tor Myr Mostahsan Khalyg, and inserted in it very full 
biographies written in Persian of about 350 Rékhtah 
poets who flourished from Mokammad Shah to his own 
time, paying particular attention to the biographies of 
contemporaries, with most of whom he was personally 
acquainted.

counted Isma’yl Ghawrbandy and Sayyid Fadhil Gujraty, 
a Saint, whose tomb is at Gujrat and up to this day a 
place of pilgrimage. Qasim was in Arabia a pupil of 
Mawlawy Fakhr aldyn, in poetry, of Hidayat Allah Khan 
Hidayat, and in medicine, of Zakym Mohammad Sharyf 
Khan. In 1221 he had written a Dywan of 7000

the Mathnawy of Jalal aldyn Rûmy containing 30,500 (?) 
verses ; and a Mathnawy in the measure of the Bostan of

` Periods of poetical composition by Shaykh Gholam 
Mohyy aldyn Qorashy of Myrath (Meerut). His father, 
Shaykh Ni'mat Allah N?amy, was a good Persian poet 
and wrote a thick Dywan, in the arranging of which he 
assisted him when only twelve years of age. This gave 
him a taste for poetry and he wrote himself a Dywan in 
which he used the takhalluc of Mobtala. Subsequently 
he devoted much of his time to archery, without neglect- 
ing however his studies. He learned Arabic grammar, 
but having a weak chest he was as it seems obliged to 
abandon it. When Shah ’alam came from Patna to Dilly 
he gained the friendship of one of his courtiers, whose title 
was Nawab Najaf Khan, and his name Ibrahym Bég, and 
his takhalluc, Alam, he was induced by him to write 
another Dywan in which he used the takhallu¢ of ۹ 
and a Persian Mathnawy containing the story of Shahrokh 
and Mahrokh in about 1700 verses, it is in the measure 
of the Mathnawy of Jalal aldyn Rumy and has the title 
عشق‎ wees. He also wrote a Persian Tadzkirah which 
has the titles of مجموعهٌ عشق‎ and of باع گلھای حس‎ and 
fills about 1280 pages. The latter name is a chrono- 
gram for 1187. He also wrote an Insha of about 200 
pages, it has the title of چہار , شوق‎ which is a chrono- 
gram for 1199, and a treatise on chronograms called سراثر‎

Tadzkirah in 122%, this date is containéd in the title.

Hatify was an ancient poet and a contemporary of Walyy, D, H. 

Hatim, Mohammad Hatim of Dilly a friend of Abré and Madh- 
min, he was during the reign of Mohammad Shéh a companion 
and the butler of Nawab ’umdat almulk, he wrote a Dywan of 
about four thousand verses, subsequently he made selections from 
it and called them .دیوان زاده‎ This is the account of A. He is also 
called Mokammad in B. But E, who knew him personally calls him 
Tzohtr aldyn alias Shah Hatim, and says that he was born at Dilly 
in 1111 and was a soldier by profession. E farther informs us that 
there was another Hatim at that time, and that the two were fre- 
quently confounded. Though a man who has the name of Tzohir 
aldyn may also have the name of Mohammad, it is not unlikely that 
A and others confounded the two, and that Mohammad Hatim is dis- 
tinct from Tzohüûr aldyn Hatim, the latter being the more celebrated 
and the author of the Dywan-zadah. Mr. Hall however, whose opi- 
nion is very valuable, identifies the two. It would appear that Hatim 
gave the first impulse to Urdu poetry in Dilly. In 1132 the Dywan 
of Walyy was brought to Dilly and verses from it were on every 
body’s lips, this induced him and three friends of his, Najiy, Madh- 
mtin and Abri to apply themselves to Rékhtah poetry. The taste 
for it spread rapidly and Hatim, according to his own statement, 
had no less than forty-five pupils. Up to the time of Hatim it would 
appear that Indian poets wrote in Persian, and made only occasionally, 
Rékhtah verses, there seem also to have existed many popular songs, 
which however, were almost purely Hindee. The first productions 
of Hatim (and probably also of his early contemporaries) were 
far-fetched and obscure, but when Rékhtah poetry had attained 
greater perfection he made a selection from his former Dywén and 
improved the style and called it دیوان زاده‎ as has already been stated 
on the authority of A. It has about 5000 verses and the metre of 
every poem is noted on the margin. It is stated by E that his 
object in making these selections was, that his poems might not be 
confounded with those of the other Hatim. He died two or three 
years ago, E. H and K inform us further that, he turned a Faqyr, 
that he had his takiyah near the Dilly gate of the palace and that many 
persons used to come to him for spiritual advice. For extracts from 
the preface to the Dywan-zadah see chapter on Rékhtah Dywans.

to say the soul of Jaén. This is the statement of J, but it seems to 
be an error, his name is no doubt Janjénén. His ancestors were of 
Bokhara, he is now upwards of sixty years of age, he is a learned 
man and a Gufy, and though not a professed poet, writes beautiful 
poetry both in Persian and Rékhtah, B, A. M has seen a Persian 
Dywan of his. He resided at Dilly and In’4m Allah Khan Yagqyn, 
Dardmand and Tabén and Munshiy Beséwan Lél Bédér are among 
his pupils, he interdicted the ta’ziyahs and was therefore murdered 
by a Shy’ah in 1194 (in 1192 the chronogram is مات‎ lae عاش‎ 
شهیدا‎ P) when nearly one hundred years of age, C, G. E considers 
him as the originator of Rékhtah poetry. He has selected only 
one thousand verses out of 20,000 which he had composed, and 
embodied them in his Dywaén, K. He collected an Album to which 
he gave the title of خریطڭ چواهر‎ : in the selection of the extracts 
he shows very great taste. H says that he lived at Dilly in the 
Imam street, which is close to the Jami’ masjid, and he confirms the 
statement that he was murdered in 1192.

` The Dywan of Abi-l-Faraj, according to ’awfy his 
name was Abi-l-Faraj .دا‎ Mas’ ûd Runy, he was a native 
of Lahûr, and a panegyrist of Sultan Ibrahym (succeeded 
in 451, and died 481) the grandson of Sulé4n Mahmud 
of Ghaznah. Anwary carefully studied and imitated his 
Dywan. This statement is borne out by the contents of 
the Dywan, most Qacydahs being in praise of Sultan 
Ibrahym. Dawlat-shéh mentions Abt-l-Faraj Sajry or 
Sajzy (on this name see Walih and the Atishkadah, p. 
114, it is usually but erroneously, spelled usps), and 
relates of him that he was attached to the court of Amyr 
Aba ’alyy Symgtir, who was governor of the Samanides

over Khorésan. When the family of Soboktogyn made 
war against this province, he was requested by the Sym- 
gûr family to write satyres against them. After the 
conquest of Khords4n Mahmtid (succeeded in 387 and 
died in 421) intended to take revenge on him, but at the 
intercession of ’oncory (died in 441), the grateful pupil of 
Abi-l-Faraj, he not only spared his life, but treated him 
with great consideration. The dates show that these are 
two different persons yet they are constantly confounded.

found in this Dywan but those quoted by ’awfy are found

in adorning himself. He was a pupil of Jamy and a friend 
of ’alyy Shyr, and died at Herat at the age of seventy, in 
928. Ilahy says, that he made the following Ruba’y on

brought up in Khorasan. He studied at Herat and 
acquired a considerable knowledge of Arabic grammar

and most sciences. His first patron was the Sayyid Abii 
Jafar ’alyy b. Hosayn Qodamah Masawy, who resided at 
Nayshaptr, and was so much respected that Sultan Sanjar 
called him his brother. Adyb Cabir resided long in his 
house at Nayshapur, and was introduced by him to the 
Sultan Sanjar and the nobles of his court. He gained 
the confidence of the Sulfan and when Atsyz raised in 
Khwarizm the standard of revolt against Sanjar, he sent 
Adyb as a spy to the court of Atsyz that he might con- 
tinually keep him informed of the intentions of his 
enemy. It so happened that Atsyz dispatched an assassin 
who was to murder Sanjar on Friday. Adyb sent the 
intelligence of the plot and portrait of the assassin in 
advance. The plot was thus frustrated, but Adyb paid 
with his life for his fidelity to hisformer patron. Atsyz 
ordered that his hands and feet be tied, and that he be 
thrown into the Oxus. This happened in 546. ۱ 

Adyb is one of the greatest of the early Persian poets, 
his merits are acknowledged by such high authorities as 
Jabaly, Anwary and Hakym Stzany. Rashyd aldyn 
Watwat and Adyb were contemporaries and very nearly 
equal as poets. . There existed therefore a great jealousy 
between them, and they wrote satyres against each other. 
Rashyd aldyn seems to have higher talents, but Adyb 
is more of a scholar, and his poems are more polished. 
Adyb’s Dywan was very rare at the time of Taqyy Kashy 
and the copy which he saw contained only 1000 verses, 
and was much injured. (Dawlat-shah, 2,17; Taqyy 
Kashy No. 10). 

This Dywan consists of Qacydahs, most of which are 
in praise of Nitzam al-Khilafat Majd aldyn, at the end 
are a few Ruba’ys, &c. Bg.

The Dywan of ۰ 

The name of this poet was Jalal aldyn Hamzah 

(or ’alyy Hamzah) b. ’alyy Malik T'ûsy Bayhaqy. He 
adopted the takhalluç of Adzory because he was born 
in the month of Adzor, November. His father was a 
man of importance at Isfarayn, according to others at 
Bayhagq-Sabzwar, and in his early years Adzory sang 
Qacydahs in praise of princes, among them is one in 
praise of Shahrokh, which is celebrated ; subsequently he 
relinquished the vanities of this world, and became a 
Oufy. His spiritual guide was the poet Ni'mat Allah 
(see below). He performed twice the pilgrimage and 
remained two years at Makkah, and wrote there a work 
containing an account of the Ka’ bah and the ceremonies 
to be performed by the pilgrims, under the title of سعی‎ 
.الصفاء‎ Subsequently he went to India and was received 
with the greatest respect by Admad-shah Walyy (reigned 
from A. D. 1422 to 1435) of the dynasty of Kalbarga. 
He gave him a lakh of dirhams (according to . Ilahy 
10,000 dirhams) but Adzory refused to accept them, and 
returned to Persia. On a subsequent occasion ‘when Mo- 
hammad Baysanghor poured a bag of gold out before him 
he equally declined it, but Mojahid Hindy, a very learned 
man who was present on the occasion, was less disinterested, 
and took a handful of gold mohurs and finally obtained 
the whole. Adzory died at Isfarayn in A. H. 866, at the

age of eighty-two years. His tomb is at Isfardyn, and 
was at the time of Dawlat-shah so sacred, that convicts 
found an asylum there from the hands of justice. 

He left a Dywan of 30,000 verses and several other 
works in prose and verse ; the following two are mentioned 
by Dawlat-shah, the Imperial Toghra رطغرای همایون‎ and 
Curiosities الغرائب‎ ile, (This is probably a mistake 
for الدنیا‎ il“). In the Khizanah ’amirah is the fol- 
lowing account of the works of Adzory. “ I have seen 
a Mathnawy of Adzory which has the title’ of تمرات‎ 
Fruits. It consists. of four books, each of which has 
a separate title. The first is called المکري طامه‎ )2( ; 
the second iw) عجامب‎ ; the third عجائب العلی‎ ; and the

to Herat who was surrounded by the greatest poets of 
the age, and they all declared, among them Jamy—that 
he had surpassed Salman, whereas all other poets who had 
imitated it, had failed to equal him. When his renown 
had spread through ’ iraq, Khorasan and Adzarbayjan, he 
went to Tabryz and after a stay of two years in that city 
he made the pilgrimage to Makkah and returned to 
Shyraz and lived in retirement to his death, which over-

wish he was interred in the Macalla on the side of Hafitz

the preface that one day he heard that two poems of Ka-

much praised, because the former (as the name indicates) 
may be read in two different metres and the latter on 
account of the occurrence of words which consist of the 
same letters but have different meanings. This induced 
Ahly to compose a poem which combines these two pro- 
perties. It may be read in the metre فاعلاتی فاعلاتی فاعلییى‎ 
or in the metre gelê glide .مفتعایی‎ Moreover it has a 
double rhyme.

descended from Jaryr b. ‘abd Allah Bajaly and having 
been born at Jam, he is usually called Ahmade Jam. His 
early education was so much neglected that he knew 
neither to read nor to write. At the age of twenty-two 
he turned an ascetic, and after he had spent sixteen years 
in solitude on a mountain where it would appear he 
applied himself to study, he again mixed with the world. 
He was born in 441 and died in 536. ۰ He was in every 
respect a most fertile and successful man. He prevailed 
on sixty thousand persons to do repentance, he had no 
less than thirty-nine sons and three daughters, of whom 
three daughters and fourteen sons survived him and 
turned holy men and great authors, forty of his disciples 
became celebrated saints, and he left fourteen In yeaa

No. 99.[ ANWARY. 331 


(99) کلیات انوری‎ (P.) 


Complete poetical works of Awhad aldyn ’alyy An- 
wary the greatest Qacydah writer of the Persians. He 
was born in a village close to Mahnah in the plains of 
Khawaran in the country of Abyward and he therefore 
chose first Khawary on his takhalluc. He seems to have 
been proud of his native country, for he used to say that it 
had produced three great men and that he was the fourth. 
These three men are Abû Sa’yd (see p. 309 supra) ; 
As’ade Mahnah, a very learned man and a contemporary 
of Imam Ghazzaly, with whom he used to hold disputa- 
tions, and Khwajah Abû ’alyy Ahmad Shadan Khawa- 
rany the Wazyr of Toghril Bég b. Mikayyl Seljiqy. A 
friend of his, *omarah, who used to revise his verses pre- 
vailed upon him to change his takhalluc into Anwary, 
under which he has become celebrated. He was originally 
a pupil of the Manctrryah Madrasah at 186 and very 
poor. The following occurrence prevailed upon him to 
exchange the study of divinity for the profession of a 
panegyrist. One day while he was sitting at the entrance 
of the Madrasah he saw a person passing by mounted 
on a splendidly caparisoned horse and accompanied by a 
numerous suit of slaves. The poor student asked who 
this great man was, and he was told that he was a poet. 
He wrote that very night a Qa. ydah in praise of Suléan 
Sanjar and presented it the following morning. The 
Sultan being a man of very great taste recognised the 
man of genius in him and took him into his service. 
Sultan Sanjar died on Friday the 11th Raby’ I. 552. 
Anwary was very strong in astrology and compiled 
several books on it among them, one called معید‎ or the 

2 U 2 


332 PERSIAN. POETRY. [Cuap. If. 


useful book. In 581 it so happened that there was a 
conjunction of all the seven planets in the sign of Libra, 
Anwary predicted a storm which would eradicate trees 
and destroy almost every building, so frightened were 
people at the approach of this partial destruction of 
the globe, that they built rooms under ground to live in. 
When the fatal day arrived it was perfectly calm and 
there was the whole year so little wind that the people 
were unable to winnow their corn. He died at Balkh in 
586 and his tomb is on the side of that of the saint 
Ahmad Hadhrawayh. Dawlat-shah places his death in 
556 and the author of the Atishkadah in 656. ۳ 
Awhady has seen 12,000 verses of Anwary. Azad saw 
a copy of the Dywan of Anwary which was written in 
676 by Abi Bakr .حا‎ ’othman ’alyy, along with it, some

The Dywan of Anysy. His name is variously spelt 
Yul Quly Bég, Yual Quly Bég and Lawlaqy, the first 
spelling is no doubt correct. It is said that he received 
the takhalluc of Anysy “companion” from the circum- 
stance that he was the intimate friend and constant com- 
panion of prince Ibrahym Myrza Jah, a grandson of 
Shah Isma’yl. He was first librarian of ’alyy Quly Khan 
governor of Herat under the Cafawides, he enjoyed at 
Herat the society of Shikyby of Ispahan, Myr Moghye, 
Mahwy Hamadany and other poets of note. When ’abd 
Allah Khan Uzbak took Herat after a year’s siege, he 
had a proclamation made in his army that the life of 
Anysy be spared, and he treated him with great respect 
and took him to Ma-wara-lnahr. Unfortunately however

Shyryn Khosraw. At the invitation of the Khankhanan, 
he came to India and was appointed paymaster of the 
forces, subsequently he was still farther promoted and 
received a salary of fifty thousand Rupees and a Jagyr. 
Anysy was as much distinguished as a gallant soldier as 
he was as a poet. All poems of his which are preserved, 
were composed by him in India. He died at Burhanpdr

Arzu gives the following notice of him. “ He was a 
brother of Myr Cali Kashfy and a son of Myr ’abd Allah 
Mushkyn-qalam Hosayny, who was a celebrated calli- 
graph under Jahangyr. Both brothers were poets, calli- 
graphs and men of learning. Myr Calif is the author 
of the panegyric on ’alyy called مرتضوی‎ Wslie, They 
are altogether a talented and distinguished family. They 
came originally from Persia, but since the reign of Jahan- 
gyr they inhabited Agra, I believe there are still descen- 
dants of this family extant. Myr ‘arshy was a pane- 
gyrist of Mohammad Dara-shikoh the eldest son of Shah- 
jahan. I have seen his Dywan, it is very simple, but it 
aims at high things and, it must be allowed, it contains 
fine thoughts. This ’arshy must be distinguished from 
the one mentioned above.” 

The author informs us that he diligently studied the 
Mathnawy of Jalal aldyn Rimy and that this is an 
imitation of it. ۱ Beginning

` The book was originally in the Pahlawy language, one 
day when the poet was with the royal army which was 
marching towards Hamadan ’amyd aldyn Abi-l-Fath, a 
high officer of the king requested him to translate it into 
Parsy verses, and it was at his request that he wrote this 
epos. The style is simple and the language but little 
mixed with Arabic words, though the author does not

aldyn Kobra as his spiritual guide and retired from the 
world. He went from Adzarbayjan to Khalkhal and 
died there in 608. His poems are considered nearly 
equal to those of Anwary and Khaqgany, yet Taqyy 
Kashy says, he had much difficulty in finding a copy of 
his Dywan, his poems being not much read. It contained 
about 10,000 verses. (Taqyy Kashy, No. 27; Dawlat- 
shah 2, 18; Mohammad ’awfy, folio 125; A'tishkadah 
0, 424; Khoshgt I. No. 120.) 

The Dywan contains Qacydahs and a few Qif’ahs, 
Ruba’ys, &c. most of them in praise of Shah Arslan 
Toghril whose name occurs in the following verse :

The Dywan of Faryd aldyn ’attdr. His name was 

Abii Hamid (or Abû Talib). Mohammad and he was a 
son of Abi Bakr Ibrahym, a respectable druggist of 
Shadyakh not. far from Nayshapir, he is therefore called 
Nayshapury. He was born in 513, in a village called 
Kedken, during the reign of Sinjar.. First he followed 
the profession of his father and hence his takhallue ’a¢éar, 
the druggist. He informs us in his Gul. Khosraw_ that 


No. 121.] "ATTA R. 347 


he gave way to his predilection for poetry notwithstand- 
ing the admonition of his friends, and neglected the study 
of medicine. He commenced two of his best mystical 
works whilst he was still a druggist, but apparently before 
he had completed them he left his shop and turned a 
religious mendicant. 

مصیبت نامه کاشوب جہانست الھی نامه کاسرار نہانست 

بدارو خاده کردم هر دو i‏ چہ کوبم روك رسكم زان آن باز 

These two verses upset the silly story of his sudden 
conversion related by Dawlat-shah, and the account of the 
disgusting love adventure which we find in Taqyy Kashy. 
He took Rokn aldyn Akaf as his spiritual guide, and after 
some time he made the pilgrimage with him to Makkah. 
In the course of his life, he became personally acquainted 
with most Cafies of his age and collected four hundred 
volumes of works on mystical theology which he dili- 
gently studied, and he became thereby one of the most 
copious and profound Cufy-writers. He was put to death 
during the carnage of the Tatars of Chengyz Khan, in 
627, at the advanced age of 114 lunar years, of which he 
spent 29 at Nayshaptr and 85 at Shadyakh. According 
to some authors, he died earlier. 

After ’aééar’s death, says Sir G. Ouseley, an eminent 
Cufy was asked, to whom he ascribed the more profound 
knowledge of the Çüûfy doctrine, Jalal aldyn Ramy or 
Faryd aldyn ’attar; he answered, “ The former like an 
eagle flew to the height of perfection in the twinkling of 
an eye; the latter reached the same summit, but was 
crawling slowly and perseveringly, like an ant.” 

Dawlat-shah says that out of forty, there were at his 
time twelve Mathnawies of Faryd aldyn extant, the re-

360 PERSIAN: POETRY. [CHaP, II. 


(142) دیوان اوحدي‎ (P.) 
The Dywan of Awhady. There were two contemporary 
poets who had this takhalluç, both of whom were Ciifies, 
and they are confounded with each other in most Tadz- 
kirahs. 

The name of the elder of them is Awhad aldyn Hamid 
Kirmany. He was a pupil of Rokn aldyn and a friend of 
Mohiyy aldyn al’araby, who mentions him in his 7۰ 
The disgusting practices which he introduced among 
the Darwyshes, will be described in another chapter. He 
is according to all accounts the author of the مصباح‎ 
رہام‎ ). According to Khéshgu, No. 53, his takhalluç was 
Awhad and not Awhady and he died iri A. H. 536. This 
date however is a glaring mistake, for Mohyy aldyn his 
contemporary died in A. H. 638. It is likely that he 
died in A. H 697. This is the date mentioned in the 
Nafayis al-mathir. ۱ 

Awhady the younger was a pupil of the preceding and 
it is in his honor that he assumed this takhalluc. He 
first had that of Cufy. His name was Rokn aldyn 
Ispahany or, according to others, Maraghy. He was a 
friend and contemporary of Sa’dy, and died, according to 
most Tadzkirahs, in A. H. 697, five years after he had 
completed the Jame Jam. According to Jamy Nafahdt 
aluns No. 568 and the Nafayis al-mdthir and the Habyb 
alsiyar 111. folio, 543, he completed this poem in A. ۰ 
733 and died at Maraghahin 738. They support their 
statement by two very strong facts. The date of his death 
they say is engraved on his tomb-stone at Maraghah and 
the date of the composition of his Jame Jam is recorded 
in the following verse of Awhady himself: 


No. 142.[ AWHADY. 361 


چون ز تارینخ برگرفتم فال هفتصد رفغه بود و سي و سه سال 

It is clear that those biograghers who place his death 
in A. H. 697 confound him with Awhad aldyn ۰ 
This blunder seems to have originated with Dawlat-shah. 
He devotes only one article to both poets, and says at the 
end that Awhady died in A. H. 697, under Mahmud 
Ghazan Khan, and that he is buried at Ispahan and that 
the pious perform pilgrimages to his tomb. There is no 
doubt that he means the tomb of Awhad aldyn Kirmany, 
but later authors have taken it to apply to Awhady 
Ispahany. 

It is difficult to say whether this Dywan is by Awhad 
aldyn Kirmany or by Awhady Ispahany. I have unfor- 
tunately neglected to see whether the takhalluc of the 
author is Awhad or Awhady, I think however the latter 
is the case. It begins with a Mathnawy entitled „lae 
الرراح‎ “the key of spirits” in the metre: 

معفوري مفاعلنی فعواری ‏ معقولن مفاعلن فعولن 

It fills 66 pp. of 13 lines. The end is wanting. The 

initial line is ۱‏ 
چون غره مبم گشت غرا شد طری* اسمان مطرا 

Jamy quotes the conclusion of the Mathnawy of ۸ 
aldyn Kirmany which has the title civ)! che, 0 it 
appears that it is in the same metre. It is not unlikely 
that الارراے‎ cline is a mistake for رمصباح اارواح‎ and that 
this poem is by Awhad aldyn Kirmany. 

After this Mathnawy follow Qacydahs, the beginning 
of which is wanting and then Ghazals. The Ghazals 
fill 152 pp. of 13 lines and begin: 

اي غم عشق تو یاز واغارما ‏ جزفست خود کس تزیبد یار ما 
In the Atishkadah p. 75, in the biography of the‏ 
A‏ 3 


302 PERSIAN POETRY. [Cuap. II. 


younger Awhady the following verses are quoted which 
I found in this Dywan: 


شزبلی 33 aS‏ کم گنی جوشش داروی 33 aS‏ بۂۃ شوق بیمار 

همه در جسجو وان فارغ . همه در گفتگو و ان بیزار 

al)‏ بسیار شد مرنجان خر دزد همراه شد میفگی بار 

The Qaçydah in which these verses occur is also 
ascribed to the younger Awhady by Jamy, No. 568. It 
is therefore clear that this MS. contains poems both of 
the elder and younger Awhady, the Mathnawy being by 
the former and the Qacydahs and Ghazals by the latter, 
who according to Dawlat-shah has written 10,000 verses 
and according to Taqyy Kashy 14,000. His poems were 
much sung by Darwyshes.

of Marw. He introduced himself into the society and 
confidence of the Seljtiqy prince Toghan-shah I. the seat 
of whose government was Nayshaptr by the composition

carried to Mashhad for interment. The chronogram on 
his death is گو‎ _ te .بى بها شی‎ Besides this Mathnawy 
and many Arabic works, which will be enumerated here- 
after, he left a Dywan and a Kashkil or Adversaria, of 
which there is a very beautiful copy in the Farah-bakhsh

called ,شیر و شکر‎ For farther information regarding him 
and his other works, I refer to the chapter on Shy’ah

This poem is considered as an introduction to the

(162) دیوان بناي‎ (P.) 


The Dywan of Bannayiy. His father was a respect- 
able architect at Herat, the birth-place of the poet, and 
his takhalluc is derived from banna, builder. 

He was a very clever and witty man and skilled in 
almost every art and science, he was a profound Çûfy, an 
exquisite calligraph and a distinguished composer of 
music. On account of his erudition, it was said that he was 
the Molla of poets and the poet for Mollas. His conceit 
roused the jealousy of Myr ’alyy Shyr: a spiteful expres- 
sion of his being reported to him, his indignation was so 
great that Bannayiy was obliged to leave his native 
country. He went into the ‘irag and was kindly received 
by Sultan Ya’qib to whom he dedicated his ,پمرام و بهروز‎ 
After some time he returned to Herat and tried to conci- 
liate the favour of the Myr by writing a Qacydah in his 
praise. He presented it but received no reward, and he 
therefore substituted the name of Sultan Ahmad Myrza 
for that of ’alyy Shyr, saying that he would not give 
away his daughters without dowry. Myr ’alyy Shyr 
was so enraged at this, that he obtained a death-warrant 
against him. He fled to Ma-wara-Inahr and was received 
at the court of Suléan ’alyy Myrza b. Sultan Ahmad 
Myrza b. Sultan Abû Sa’yd; and he wrote for him a 
Qacydah called “جمع الغرانب‎ in the dialect of Marw. His 
fortunes were still in the ascendant when Mohammad 
Khan Shaybany took possession of Ma-wara-Inahr. He 
conferred the title of King of Poets upon him, and when 
he marched into Khorasan he gave him opportunities to 
revenge himself on the poets of his native country, who 
had persecuted him. He returned from Herat to Ma-

wara-Inahr and was killed in the massacre of Shah 
Isma’yl in 918. In some Ghazals in which he imitates 
Hafıtz he uses the takhallue of Haly. Taqyy Kashy

his. (Samy, No. 213; Taqyy Kashy, No. 169.)

one year’s incarceration, his innocence was proved and 
the Shah heaped favours upon him. Subsequently he 
visited Karbala and remained two years there in the 
society of learned men, then he proceeded to Kashan and 
finally he went to India and entered the service of Ibrahym 
Padshah. It is now twenty years, says the author of the 
Miathir Rahymy, that he holds an appointment in the

(186) خلاصۂ کبیر دیوان ساب‎ (P.) 


Selecta majora from the Dywan of Myrza Mohammad 
‘alyy Cayib. His father, a merchant by profession, was 
one of the Tabryzians تار‎ whom Shah ‘abbas caused 
to settle at Ispahan in a quarter of the town called after 
him ’abbasabad, they were like the Kashmyries at Dilly, 
a clever and industrious race, and many of them were 
goldsmiths. Cayib was first instructed in poetry by the 
Hakym Roknayiy Kashy, and subsequently his. verses 
were revised by the Hakym Shifayiy Ispahany. Accord- 
ing to Shyr Khan Lody, p. 140, he came first as a 
merchant to India, his poetical talents introduced him at 
the Court of Shah-jahan, and he remained at Dilly until 
Tzafar Khan (see p. 325 supra) took charge of the Go- 
vernment of Kashmyr. Attracted by the liberality of 
this nobleman and the beauty of the climate, he accom- 
panied him to that country. Azad says that when a 
young man, Çéyib made the pilgrimage to Makkah and 
returned to Persia, subsequently towards the end of the 
reign of Jahangyr he again left his native country with 
a view of going to India. When he had reached Kabul 
Tzafar Khan, who at that time acted as governor on the 
part of his father, A bû-l- Hasan Torbaty, induced him to 
take up his residence with him. On the death of Jahan- 


No. 186. | Ca’YIB. 385 


gyr his successor Shahjahan bestowed the Government 
of Kabul on Lashkar Khan, when Tzafar Khan hastened 
to the presence of his new sovereign accompanied by 
Cayib, and found him making conquests in the Deccan, 
A. H. 1039. Here Cayib remained some time till his 
father came from Ispahan with the hope of prevailing 
upon him to return to his native country. In further- 
ance of this object Cayib composed a Qacydah in 
praise of Khwajah Abt-l-Hasan and his son Tzafar 
Khan, in which he solicits their permission to depart. 
But the emperor having returned to Agra in 1041 and 
shortly after appointing Tzafar Khan governor of Kash- 
myr, Cayib accompanied him to that country, and after a: 
short stay there, returned to Persia, where Shah ’abbas 
II. bestowed the title of king of poets upon him. He 
died in 1081 and is buried at Ispahan. 
. Sa’dy, says Abû Talib, may be considered as the origin- 
ator of the Ghazals, Baba Fighany gave it new life, and 
his manner was in vogue, until Cayib wrote Ghazals in 
an entirely new style, and he may therefore be considered 
as the founder of the new school. (Ouseley, Notes Pers. 
Poets, p. 227, see also pp. 90, 125, 112, 151 supra.)

short preface which is in prose, that Darwysh ’émilayiy Balkhy paid 
a visit to Çûyib at Ispahén, and having obtained his Dywén, he made 
selections from it which he called lex عرأۃ‎ some authors however 
call them Las} رواجب‎ the latter I suspected is the correct title. The 
printed Intikhab is founded upon them and contains Ghazals and 
Rubéa’ys and begins: غیرحق را ميدهي رة درحریم دل چرا‎

Dywan of Çûyib, they are arranged under 21 chapters, containing 
the description of the eyebrows, eye, nose, &c. and the verses in 
each chapter are alphabetically arranged. This no doubt is the

he has the name of Hakym Mohammad Hosayn 
Faghfiir Yazdy. He was of a Sayyid family of Lahy- 
jan in Gylan, and possessed almost every accomplishment: 
he knew Arabic well, composed beautiful melodies, wrote 
an elegant hand, was a clever chess-player and excelled 
as a physician, in this art he was a pupil of his uncle 
Taj aldyn Hosayn who was a pupil of the celebrated 
Cadr alshary’at Gylany. He seems also to have pos- 
sessed some skill in arithmetic, and is the author of a 
useful treatise on counting with the fingers ۔درحساب اصابع‎

turbances, Mazanderan, Adzarbayjan and Armenia, he 
came to Ispahan which was then a great seat of learning, 
and made the acquaintance of HHakym Shifayiy and other 
men of note. Being a man of independent fortune, he 
was not under the necessity of gaining his subsistence by 
writing panegyrics on great men, yet he was received with

great distinction by ’alyy Quly Khan Shamlu, who held 
a high office at the court of Shah ’abbas. In 1012, he 
went to India, on the road he made several poems in 
praise of the Khankhanan, for which’ he-received the 
most liberal presents, and he was introduced by him to 
Shah Parwyz, a son of Jahangyr, who took him in 1025 
into his service. He died at Ilahabad in 1028 or 1030.

Aba-l-’old of Ganjah, some authors say that Anwary was 
a pupil of Falaky. His patron was Manûshihr Shir- 
wanshah, the ruler of Shirwan. He was skilled in 
mathematics and astrology and left a book on the latter 
subject. It is the predilection for this science, which 
induced him to choose the takhalluc of Falaky (the man 
of the spheres of heaven) though according to Ulugh 
Bég it was an unhappy choice. Hedied in 577. Taqyy

The Dywan of Molla Mohsin Faniy of Kashmyr, he 
was in poetry a pupil of Molla Carfy Kashmyry, and in 
Ctifism a disciple of the Shaykh Mohibb Allah Iléha- 
bady. For some time he held the office of the Cadarat 
of Ilahabad and was much respected, but when Sultan 
Murdad-bakhsh conquered Balkh, a copy of the Dywan of 
Mo/sin was found in the library of Nadzr Mohammad 
Khan, the fugitive sovereign of that kingdom, which 
contained panegyrics on him; Shahjahan was so much 
enraged at his duplicity, that he removed him from his 
post, but he allowed him a pension. Faniy returned to 
his native country Kashmyr, and spent his time in 
instructing young men. He was enamoured of a public 
woman of the name of Najy, with whom unfortunately 
Tzafar Khan fell also in love, and their rivalry led to 
enmity between them. Faniy died in 1081 and left a 
Dywan of 6000 or 7000 verses. (Mirat alkhiydl, ۰ 
254; ۸۳26, and supra pp. 113, 117, 116.)

and he was by marriage connected with the philosopher 
Cadra Shyrazy. Mohsin, says Adzor, succeeded to bring 
reason and positive religion, and dialectics and Cufism 
into harmony. He flourished under Shah ’abbas II. who 
treated him with great respect, and he has written a great 
number of works many of which will he described in

consists of dithyrambs, ii which the poet describes his 
desire to meet the beloved, or he describes the beauty of 
the divinity which he beholds in the mirror of the per- 
fection of the human figure, or he writes moral sentences, 
or he paints the love of the initiated (literally of the 
perfect saint). On the first four subjects Faydh wrote a 
book called “the desire of love” شوق عشق‎ and on the 
fifth he wrote one which has the title of .شوق المهدي‎

Ya’qtib. This would imply that he first tried his luck 
at the court of Sultan. Hosayn Myrza and Myr ’alyy 
Shyr; for under “the poets of Khorasan” no doubt the 
poets which surrounded that court: are meant. Samy 
and Taqyy Kashy relate that he proceeded to Tabryz 
and was soon acknowledged by the literati of that part 
of the country, as the best poet of the age. His reputa- 
tion recommended him to Sulfén Ya’qub who conferred 
the title of Baba or Babaye Sho’araé upon him and 
appointed him his principal court poet. After the death 
of his patron he went to Khorasan and settled at Aby- 
ward. As he was a confirmed drunkard, the governor 
of that place allowed him two pounds of meat and two 
pints of wine a day. Finally he came so far in his vice 
that he allowed himself to be employed as a porter by 
the people of the wineshop. ‘Towards the end of his life 
he went to Mashhad, and when Shah Isma’yl took that 
town he made a celebrated Qacydah on Imam Musa and 
in praise of the shah. He died in 925. 

He is one of the best Ghazal writers, and is therefore 
called the little Hafitz, Taqyy Kashy has seen a Dywan

died in India in 973. The chronogram on his death 
is .سفرنمود میر رباعی‎ (see pp. 52, 62, 44 supra, the 
mistake of Taqyy Kashy in supposing that he was still 
alive in 985 is to be accounted for by the great dis-

Méty Mahall 74 pp. the commencement is wanting. 


(222) . شاهنامه.‎ (P.) 

The Shah-namah or book of kings by Firdawsy. Fir- 
dawsy means the Paradisian, and is the takhalluc of Abt- 
1-Qasim Hasan (or Mancir) .ا‎ Ishaq. Some authors 
say that he chose this takhallu¢ because his father was 
gardener in a garden called Firdaws. He was born near 
Tis in A. H. 328. He came to Ghaznah to find redress 
against the oppression which his family suffered at the 
hands of the governor of 7T" ûs. Sultan Mahmid the con- 
queror of India who resided at Ghaznah had formed the 
plan of having the poetical records of the history of Persia 
put into a new garb, and he entrusted various poets of 
his court with episodes to put them into verse. Firdawsy 
in his place had at T'üs, at the suggestion of his teacher 
Asady, been engaged in the same task. Not long after 
his arrival at Ghaznah, Mahmud having seen his per- 


406 PERSIAN POETRY. [CHAP. ۰ 


formance, gave him the preference over all his court poets, 
and entrusted him with the completion of the work. At 
first he was liberally rewarded by the king, but subse- 
quently owing to the intrigues of the minister Maymandy 
he was obliged to leave the court of Mamûd and wrote 
satyres against him. He died at 769 in 411. 

Mohammad ’awfy says that 20,000 verses of the Shah- 
namah are by Daqyqy, and the other 60,000 by Firdawsy. 
Taqyy Kashy further informs us that the last 4000 
verses are by Asady who completed the book at the 
request of Firdawsy during his last illness. According 
to this account the Shah-namah would have 80,000 
verses, but the copies now extant, contain from 46 to 
56,000 verses. It appears from 5 
account that in his time, 670 years ago, complete 
copies of the Shah-namah were rare, the text usually 
read being “The Selection اخقیاراٹ‎ from the Shah- 
namah” made by Khwajah Masûd. This statement 
gives us a clue for explaining why the MSS. now extant 
differ so much in the number of verses: we may suppose 
that some copyists of the selections referred to the 
original, and enlarged them by making farther extracts 
from it. 

The name of Daqyqy was, according to the Atishkadah, 
Mancir b. Ahmad, he was a native of Bokhara and flou- 
rished under the Samanide dynasty, and it is said that 
he put the story of Gustasp into verse by order of Nth 
b. Mancir who was deposed in A. H. 387. 

Asady T'ûsy was the teacher of Firdawsy. He died 
during the reign of Mas’ ûd the son of Makmid, his 
portion of the Shah-namah begins with the inroad of the 
Arabs into Persia. He is also the author of a poem 


No. 224.[ FIRYBY. 407 


called Gershasp-namah گرشاسپ نامه‎ and of some Qacydahs 
and of dialogues containing disputations. 

I have given a full notice of Khwajah Mas’ ûd who 
made the Selections from the Shah-namah in the Journal 
of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, Vol. 22 p. 442. He 
died in 525 and left three thick Dywans, one in the 
Persian, one in the Arabic and one in the 11144:77 
language of that day. -He is the earliest Musalman 
poet who wrote in Hindtstany of whom we have any 
account. Tk

Remnants of youth, this is the title of a Dywan of

came early in life from Khorasan to Ardestan in the

Kashan. His poetical talents were of the highest order 
and his fame spread all over Persia, but as he was a 
great free-thinker he found it advisable to expatriate 
himself from his native country, and to take refuge in 
India where he found a most favorable reception at the 
court of Akbar (see p. 61 supra). His poems might 
throw much light upon the philosophy of the time of 
Akbar and it is therefore very desirable that they 
be collected and preserved. Taqyy Kashy has seen 
besides this Dywan another Dywan of Ghazals entitled

ny, he was a great free-thinker. He died in 997. Humam 
was less distinguishsd than his brother and died in 1004.

Though he was not a very good physician the reputa- 
tion of his father and uncle was an introduction for 
him and under the patronage of the Khankhanan he

as a poet to Anwary. (Mathire Rahymy fol. 619).

The Dywan of Shams aldyn Mohammad ۲۲/۶ of 
Shyraz. He is the greatest Ghazal writer of the Per- 
sians, and died in 791. Sir Gore Ouseley Not. of Pers. 
Poets p. 23 has given a very full and elegant biography 
of this poet, which renders any farther account super- 
fluous. The Dywan has been arranged by Modammad 
Gulandam: ۱

Amyr Khosraw and Dhiya Barany, The latter author 
says of him that he had never seen so quiet, abstemious

The Loves of Layla and Majniin, a poem by ’abd Allah 
Hatify of Jam. He was the son of Jamy’s sister, and 
spent his life in great ease in a garden near his native

and in 927 when Shah Isma’yl in his return from the 
conquest of Khorasan passed through Jam, he paid him 
a visit and prevailed upon him to describe his victorious 
career in anepos. The poet consented, but died in the 
same year hefore it was completed, he only composed one 
thousand verses of’ it. Having a particular talent for 
the Mathnawy, it was his ambition to imitate the five 
poems of Nitzamy, he wrote however only four. (Sam 
No. 211; Ouseley p. 143).

says that he was of Ma-wara-Inahr. He came early to 
Ray and spent several years in that city. Subsequently 
after a visit to Baghdad he went to Adzarbayjan; being 
much given to drinking he found it necessary to proceed 
to Mazanderan, where that vice was less punished, and 
he spent five years in the house of Aqa Rostam, the 
governor of that province. In reward for a Qacydah 
which he composed in praise of Shah Tahmasp, he 
obtained the title of king of poets and was called to court, 
and after a short residence there he was requested to 
compose a Mathnawy under the title المیاهم‎ é=¢, In order 
to enjoy greater rest for his literary labours, and perhaps 
also to indulge more freely in his habitual vice, drunken- 
ness, he went to Kashan, which he considered as his home, 
and he was murdered there in 961. -He left besides the 
above mentioned epos another Mathnawy to which he 
gave the title of گلزار‎ and which is an imitation of the 
Bostan. All his verses amount to about 40,000. (Taqyy

The Dywan of Badr aldyn Hilaly. He was by origin 
of Chaghatay, but was born at Astrabad. He received 
a good education and was skilled in science. It is on 
account of this combination of poetical talents with eru- 
dition that he is called the Little Jamy. He went early ۔‎ 
in life to Herat, which was then under the patronage of 
Myr ’alyy Shyr, the great seat of learning, and made the 
acquaintance of many celebrated poets, among them Nar- 
gisy, with whom however he had several controversies. 
When he had attained to celebrity he visited ‘iraq and 
Adzarbayjan, and was every where well received by the 
great ; he remained for some time with prince Aba-Inacr 
Sim Myrza, the author of the Tadzkirah mentioned in 


No. 264.1 HILA LY? 427 


page 12 suprd. Love for his native soil brought him 
back to Herat, which town had in the meanwhile been 
taken by ’abd Allah Khan U’zbek. He made a Qacydah 
in his praise, which was well received, but his enemies 
persuaded the Khan that he was a heretic, and he was 
put to death on this charge in 939. The author of the 
Atishkadah p. 34, ascribes to Hilaly, besides the two

(265) دیوان ناصر خسرو حجت‎ (P.) 
The Dywan of Nacire Khosraw Hojjat. It appears 
from more than one passage of his poems that he was of 
Khorasan (and not of Ispahan) and flourished under the 
Fatimite Khalyfah Ma’add b. ’alyy Mostancir, who suc- 
ceeded in 427 and died in 487. 
ترا | باه از جہاں ناص ا ون مستخصر‎

He was apparently a man of very brilliant talents and 
an original mind, and acquainted with all the sciences cul- 
tivated in his days. Being himself descended from و‎ 
he mixed himself up in the religious and political dis- 
putes which then divided the Mofammadan world, and 
was one of the great champions of the Shy’ahs. His 
turn for philosophical speculations moreover made him, 
even among his own party, suspected of free-thinking, 
nay of being an adept of the black art. It is said that he 
believed in metempsychosis. He was in consequence ex- 
posed to many persecutions. His biographers inform us 
that he was a school-fellow of the philosopher Faryaby. 
When he had obtained a name he went to Egypt and was

obliged to yield to persecution and he fled to Khorasan,

 Dywan of ’imad aldyn ’imddy, the panegyrist of 04 
aldyn Daylamy, who, if he is identical with the ’imad 
aldawlah mentioned in the Shyraz-namah, died in 333. 
It is said that ’imady was born at Ghaznah, and therefore 
he is called Ghaznawy, and he resided at Shahryar not 
far from Ray, and he has therefore also the patronymic 
of Shahryary.. Some authors however maintain that 
*umady Ghaznawy and “imady Shahryary were two dis- 
tinct poets, the former of whom flourished at the time 
of Mahmid, and the latter under the Seljtigians. If the 
distinction be founded, this Dywan must be ascribed to 
"imady Ghaznawy, because the verses quoted by ’awfy of 
that poet are found in it. ‘This question has; been dis- 
cussed at some length by the author of the Haft Iqlym, 
Khoshgti and Taqyy Kashy; the latter places the death of 
*imady Shahryary in 573. This Dywan consists of Qacy- 
dahs or panegyrics.

The Dywan of the Cafy poet Fakhr aldyn Ibrahym 

b. Shahryar ‘irdqy of Hamadan. In his early years he 
learned the whole Qoran by heart, and when he was seven- 
teen years of age he became a pupil of the celebrated Çüûfy 
Shihab aldyn Sohrawardy. He repented so much a hasty 
answer, which he had given to his spiritual guide, that he 
turned a wandering qalandar and went to India. At 
Multan he met Baha aldyn Zakariya who gave him his 
daughter in marriage, and who on his death-bed declared 
him as his successor and as the spiritual guide of his 
flock. In India he composed some very beautiful elegies ex- 
pressive of his love for his native country. After twenty- 
five years’ residence in India, being obliged to give way to 
the jealousy of some of the followers of Baha aldyn, he 
performed the pilgrimage to Makkah and went thence to 
Aleppo and Rim (Iconium?) where he met Cadr aldyn 
Mohammad Qunyawy, and he studied the Foçüç of Ibn 
‘araby with him. Whilst he read this book he composed 
a work called Lam’dt تمعات‎ (sparks or inspirations). He

(289) قصائد عبن الواسع جپلی‎ (P.) 
The Qacydahs of ’abd al-Wasi’ b. ’abd al-Hamiy (abd 
al-Jamv ?) Jabaly Sultany. He was born in the moun- 
tains of Ghurjastan ; hence his takhalluc, which means 
mountaineer; and he was descended from a family of 
Sayyids. According to the general opinion his early 
education was much neglected. Some of his biographers 
however contend that he could not have attained to such 
excellency in poetry if this had been the case, and they 
are of opinion that he has received, a good education, 
From his nativé mountains he came to Herat, where he 
applied ‘himself to study and thence he proceeded to 
Ghaznah. He found a patron in Bahram Shah, who 
succeeded to the throne of Ghaznah in 512 and died 543. 
This is the same prince to whom Sanayiy dedicated his 
Hadyqah and for whom Hamyd aldyn Naçyr Allah, 
a pupil of Abt-l-Makamid Ghaznawy translated the Ka- 
lylah° wa ‘Damnah from Arabic into Persian. When 
Sudtén Sinjar took Ghaznyn Jabaly composed poems in 
his praise and was fourteen years in his service. He 
died in 555 or 543. Taqyy Kashy has seen 6000 verses 
of Jabaly, Walih says that he left about 8000 verses of 
which he had seen 1000. His poetry is difficult. to 
understand, and therefore considered very beautiful (‘awfy

Explanation of the verities of the history of the pro- 
phet by Fadhl Allah Jamdly of Dilly. He was a pupil 
of the Shaykh Samé Allah who, according to ‘abd al- 
Haqgq, died in 901, at an advanced age. Jamdly was a great 
traveller, he made the acquaintance of Jamy (who died 
1۳ 898) at Herat and wrote an account of his own travels 
ali yaw. He was deeply versed in Cufism and is consi- 
dered asa saint. His tomb, a very elegant little building of 
white marble, isa short distance S. E: of the Kofob minar; 
eleven miles from Dilly. The Jamaly mentioned in p. 
48 supra either is not identieal with the author of. this 
book or the date of his demise must be incorrect, as will 
appear by comparing the above dates. The author of 
the A'thér alcanddyd, p. 165, places the death of the 
author of this work in 922, and says that miz خسرو‎ 1s, a 
chronogram for it but this gives 925. 

The book is divided into several parts, and each teh 
has a separate title. The first is entitled مصباح 2 رواح‎ 
and the seventh and last part شرح الواصلین و سم الغائلیں‎

Kashy. He was a man of considerable learning and very 
religious, and all his poems—Taqyy Kashy has seen 6000 
verses—are in praise of ’alyy and the Imams. He died

his takhalluç. When he had attained to celebrity he pro- 
ceeded to Herat and became a court poet of Baysanghor, but 
as a Qaçydah rhyming in ترکس‎ which he made “ to order” 
in imitation of one of Kamal Ismayil did not meet with 
approbation, he went to Astrabéd and eventually to 
Shirwan. He was favourably received by Amyr-z4dah 
Ibrahym, who bestowed 1000 Dirhams upon him for the 
first poem which he made in his praise. It rhymes in 
Jf. After having visited Adzarbayjan, Tabaristan and 
other provinces to earn his livelihood by composing pane- 
gyrics on great men, he turned a religious mendicant 
and took Çûyin aldyn as his spiritual guide. He dili- 
gently studied the Cufy literature and wrote several 
mystical poems. He died at Astrabad in 838 or 839. 
According to Khoshgt he left 30,000 verses, but other 
authors mention only half of that number, Sir G. Ouseley’s

Dywan or collection of Qacydahs of Afdhal aldyn 
Ibrahym Khadgdny (according-to the commentator, his 
name was ‘othman and not Ibrahym). He was a son of 
‘alyy and a native of Shirwan. His verses were first 
corrected by Nitzam aldyn Abt-lola, who gave him his 
daughter in marriage, and introduced him at the court of 
Mantchihr the sovereign of Shirwan, whose title was 
Khagan. In honor of this prince, he changed his former 
takhalluç Haqayqy into Khaqany. He rose to high dig- 
nity and obtained the title of Amyr, noble; but he ill- 
requited the kindness of his benefactor; he and Abt-l’ola 
became jealous, and wrote biting satyres against each other. 
When Khagany was tired of the life of a courtier he 


462 PERSIAN POETRY. [CHAP. IT, 


solicited permission to retire, and when it was refused he 
fled to Baylaqan, but was arrested hy the agents of the 
Khaqan, brought back to Shirwan and cast into prison. 
After some months, he was released and went on a pilgrim- 
age to Makkah, on the road he composed his most cele- 
brated poem the Toffat al’iragqayn. He died at Tabryz 
in 582 or in 595, and is buried at Surkhab, and at his 
side rest the poets Tzahyr Faryaby and Shahftr Ashhary 
Nayshaptry, (Ouseley, Pers. poets, p. 157; Hammer

The Dywan of Yamyn aldyn Abiti-l-Hasan, who is 
known by the name of Myr Khosraw. He is the greatest 
poet among the Musalmans of India. His father Sayf 
aldyn Mahmid was one of the chiefs of the tribe of 
Lachyn, which lives in the Hazarah near Balkh. He 
came to India, and became one of the nobles (military 
leaders) of the empire. He settled at Patyalah (Miimi- 
nabad), where Khosraw was born in 651. He was only 
nine years of age when he lost his father, who fell in a 
fight against the idolators. His brother ’izz aldyn ’alyy- 
shah succeeded to the post of his father, and the young 
Myr Khosraw was educated by his maternal grandfather 
imad almulk, who was a man of great importance, and 
attained the age of one hundred and thirteen years. 
When he was grown up he entered with his friend 
Hasan the service of prince Mohammad Sultan Khan, a

son of Ghiyath aldyn Balban, who was then governor of 
Multan, he was the keeper of the Qoran مصحفدار‎ and 
Hasan keeper of the inkstand رlolya.‎ After the death 
of his patron he came to Dilly, and entered the service of 
Amyr ‘alyy, and subsequently he was admitted to the court 
of the emperor Jalal aldyn Khiljy. He rose to great im- 
portance particularly under Ghiyath aldyn Toghlaq-shah 
whom he accompanied in his march to Bengal, and to 
whom he dedicated his Toghlaq namah. Whilst the king 
was staying at Lokhnawty, the news of the demise of 
Nitzam aldyn reached the royal camp. Khosraw had been 
introduced to this saint by his father when only eight 
years of age, and he became one of his most distinguished 
disciples and warmest admirers, on hearing of his death 
he hastened back to Dilly, dressed in deep mourning, gave 
up the royal service, gave all he had to the poor and took 
up his abode at the tomb of the saint. He died six 
mouths after him in the night, from Thursday to Friday, 
the 29th of Dzi-lqa’dah, 725. His tomb is close to 
that of Nitzam aldyn, in one of the most beautiful and 
interesting spots near Dilly. Dawlat shah places his 
death in 715, as his authority has misled many learned 
men as Hammer, Garcin de Tassy, Dozy, &c. I give here

The Story of Kamrüp, in Persian verses by Himmat

that he was the father of Islam Khan and the son of the 
Khanejahan Ldyig. According to another statement 
the poet’s name was Mohammad ’ashiq and his takhallu¢ 
Himmat. The former account is borne out by several 
verses in the Dywan.

Towards the end he says :

Yet it is probable that the Mathnawy is the 2 
tion of Mokammad ’ashiq, and that he had besides the 
takhalluç of Himmat also that of Layiq, for this poet 
was in the service of Himmat Khan (see Yûüûsof Khan’s 
Tadzkirah and p. 113 supra) to whom the poem is dedi- 
cated.

484 PERSIAN POETRY. [CHAP. IT. 


His father was a porcelain manufacturer, and he followed 
in his youth the same profession, but subsequently his 
talents introduced him to Mohammad Modsin Myrza, a 
son of Sultan Hosayn Myrza, and he was killed in his 
service by the Uzbeks in 913. 
Contents: after four Ghazals in praise of God, the 
Dywan begins as follows:

The Dywan of Khwajah Mas ûd b. Sa’d b. Salman 
who died in 525, according to a Biyadh of the As. Soc. 
No. 931, his death happened in 420 (for 520 ?) (see p. 
407 supra). He usually writes “ Bandah” instead of 
his name or takhalluc, but in one instance he gives 
us his whole name: 

شگر منظومرا تخواهي Lens‏ تو چو مسعون سعد سلماني 

I have not succeeded in finding the verses quoted by 
Dawlat-shah in this Dywan, but the Ruba’y which accord- 
ing to Khéshgu, he sent from his prison to the Sultan is 
in it, it runs: 

hae‏ تو ای شاه مشه بايد تا بن تو پائی تاجداري شاید 

انكس که ز بشت سحد سلمان زاید گر زهر بود ملك ترا نگزاید 

Khéshgû has in addition to this another Mas’tid, whom 
he calls Mas’id Razy and of whom he says that he was 
at the court of Sultan ۰ 

Contents: Qacydahs about 500 pp. of 21 bayts mostly 
in praise of Sultan Mas’ûd, Ibrahym and Bahram Shah, 
at the end are a few Ghazals and Ruba’ys and Mok- 
hammas.

From Ilahy (see p. 84 supra) it would appear that he 
was of Ma-wara-lnahr but ’abd al-Haqq Dihlawy Akhbar 
alakhyar, p. 375 gives us a different statement. , He was 
according to this author a relation of Sultan Fyrtz of 
Dilly and had originally the name of Shyr Khan 3 dis- 
gusted with the vanities of this world, he became a dis- 
ciple of Shaykh Rokn aldyn b. Shihab aldyn Imam 
(Khéshga alters Shihab aldyn into Baha aldyn) one of 
the most profound Çûfies of the school of Chishty. He 
wrote several works on Mysticism, one is entitled تمهیدات‎ 
and is on the plan of the همدانی‎ Sail مهیدات عیں‎ 
and another one has the title of العارفیں‎ Se. After his 
death he was buried in the tomb of his spiritual guide 
in the Ladi Saray near Nitzam aldyn’s mausoleum, five 
miles south of Dilly. The date of his demise is not 
known, but he probably flourished towards the end of the 
eighth century. Walih says that he was a disciple of 


Chiragh Dilly.

(360) مثنوي مولوي رومي‎ (P.) 


- The celebrated mystical poem of Jalal aldyn Mohammad 
who is generally known by the name of Mawlawy Rûm | 
or Rémy in India, and by the name of Jalal aldyn Ramy 
in Europe. Çûfy authors call him usually Mawlawy 
Manawy. It is said that he used Mawlawy, Mawlana, 
Khamush and Shams as his takhalluc. He was born at 
Balkh on the 6th of Raby’ I. 604, or 592. His father 
Baha aldyn was a man of good family, and of great 
3 Rk 


490. PERSIAN POETRY. [Cuap. II. 


learning and piety, and he had a very numerous circle of 
disciples. It is said that the ruler of Balkh, jealous of 
his influence with the public did everything to annoy him. 
At length Baha aldyn thought it best to leave Balkh, he 
proceeded with his family on a pilgrimage to Makkah, 
and remained on his return at Iconium the capital of 
that branch of the Seljiq dynasty which ruled over Rim 
and hence our poet is called Rimy. The Seljiq princes 
were great patrons of learning, and both Baha aldyn and 
his promising son rose soon to importance and celebrity 
at Iconium. After the death of his father which hap- 
pened in 631, Jalal aldyn succeeded him as the spiritual 
guide of his flock which soon increased by the accession 
of four hundred new disciples. Among the friends of 
Jalal aldyn were men like Calah aldyn Zarkub, and 
Cheleby Hosam aldyn, who have immortalized them- 
selves by their attainments in mystical philosophy. But 
the friend to whom he was most attached, and to whom 
almost all his Ghazals are addressed, was Shams Ta- 
bryz, a most disgusting cynic. Jalal aldyn, according 
to Jamy, died at sunset on the 5th Jumada 11, 672 or 671, 
at the age of sixty-nine years. A chronogram on his 
death is نرر الله مرقد٭‎ (Ouseley Pers. poets, p. 112). 

This poem is called emphatically “the Mathnawy” or 
Mathnawy ma’nawy; it is divided into six cantos yu. 
The second canto was composed two years after the 
first in 662. Beginning

A Dywan of 64 Ghazals by Mohtashim, which has the

the number 64. The Ghazals are mostly expressions of 
friendship called forth by events in the poet’s intercourse 
with his friends. At the request of his friend His4by, 
who commenced in 980 to compile a Tadzkirah (see p. 23 
supra) he put at the head of every Ghazal a few lines in 
prose, in which the occasion is mentioned on which it was 
written together with zsthetical remarks. The author 
compiled the Dywan in 997. The preface begins:

Ma/müd of Ghaznah, chose, the military profession, and 
he rose under Sultan Jalal aldyn Malikshah to a com- 
mand which gave him a position at court. One evening 
the king with his courtiers was looking out for the new 
moon, the appearance of which was to terminate the fast 
of Ramadhan. The king observed it first, and Mo’izzy 
made on the spot so elegant a Ruba’y that he conferred 
the title of king of poets upon him. In this capacity 
he had to pay the stipends and rewards of merit to four 
hundred poets who adorned the court of this monarch. 
Subsequently he was sent on an embassy to Rûm (Ico- 
nium) and he brought back forty camels’ loads of precious 
goods toIspahan. His end was tragical, “it is said,” re- 
lates Mohammad ’awfy, “ that one day Sinjar, the successor 
of Malik-shah, was practising archery in his camp, and a 
missing arrow pierced the body of Moizzy, who was 
sitting in his tent.” This happened in 480 according 
to a note in an old album (As. Soc. No. 931). Sanay 
wrote an elegy on his death. Taqyy Kashy however 
thinks that he lived to the time of the Khwarezm- 
shahians, and places his death in 542. This author has 
seen more than 15,000 verses of his.

The Dywan of Aba-l-Makarim Mojyr aldyn of Bay- 
laqan, a town of Aran in A’dzarbayjan. He was a pupil 
of Khaqany, he lived for some time in his house at 
Shirwan and wrote several poems in his praise. Sub- 
sequently he proceeded to Tabryz and became a court 
poet of the A’tabuks. At the instigation of his enemies 
who wished to remove him from the court, he was sent 
to Ispahan to collect the revenue. The learned men 
of that city did first homage to his talents but subse- 
quently they induced Jamal aldyn ’abd al-Razzaq and 
Sharaf aldyn Shufurdah to compose satyres against him, 
to which he wrote smart replies. He died in 594 or 
according to Walih in 568 (Dawlat-shah, 2, 16; Taqyy 
Kashy, No. 28; <A’tishkadah, 0. 41; Khoshgi, No. 123). 

Contents: Qacydahs chiefly in praise of the Sultan

this dynasty, which ceased to reign in 628. Accorditig

(419) دیوان نعت الله ولی‎ (P.) 


The Dywan of Sayyid Ni'mat Allah Walyy, i. e. the 
saint, a son of ’alyy. He was of Kirman, but spent part 
of his life at Samarqand. He not only was himself a holy 
man having performed forty times the chilla—a fast or 
abstinence from animal food and from pleasures for forty 
days—but he is the founder of a prolific family of saints, 
who carried on their trade with great success for several 
centuries, they intermarried with the royal family of 
Persia and amassed immense fortunes (see Haft Iglym, 
0. 44 MS. As. Soc.) He stood in high favour with 
Shahrokh. He once boasted that he considered it perfect- 
ly proper to eat delicacies, because as he was a saint, he 
was sure that Providence would guard him against the 
enjoyment of unlawful things. The king made an experi- 
ment and ordered his cook to seize a lamb from a widow, 
prepare it and send it to Ni’mat Allah. He enjoyed it 
much, and after the repast the king told him triumphantly 
that it had been taken away by force from a widow. She

518 PERSIAN POETRY. [Cuap. II. 


being sent for by Shahrokh at the request of the 
saint, declared that her son was absent from home and 
caused her great anxiety, and having heard that a man 
of great sanctity had arrived from Kirman (meaning 
Ni’mat Allah) she vowed to offer him this lamb, but in 
the mean while it was forcibly taken away from her. 
She demanded justice from the king, in order that she 
might be able to carry out her intention. 

Ni’mat Allah died in 827 and left works on several 
subjects more particularly on Çûfism. He must be dis- 
tinguished from Ni’mat Allah of Narnawl in India, who 
was equally a saint and a poet, and died in 1077.

The five Treasures or the five romantic poems of Nit- 
zamy of Ganjah, a brother of Qiwamy Mofarrizy. He 
possessed considerable learning and a strong sound sense, 
his poetical talents were of the highest order, and had 
they not been perverted by the bad taste of the times in 
which he lived, and of the nation to which he belonged, 
he would be one of the greatest poets that ever lived. 
We know little of his life, except that he was a very 
pious man and a disciple of Akhy Farrokh Zanjany, and 
that he retired towards the end of his life from the world. 
As much is related of every Persian poet and Çûfy. He 
himself boasts that he did not court princes, but his 
panegyrics gave him the lie. He was sixty-three years 
and a half of age in 599, when he completed the second 
part of the Sikandar-namah, and died in 606 or 602. 
Dorn thinks that the poem was completed after his death 
by some one else.

still more frequent are copies of the first part of the Sikandar-

graphed at Bombay, small folio 1265, full of the grossest mistakes ;

The Dywan of Abt-l-Qasim Hasan b. Ahmad ’onçory 
of Balkh, a pupil of Abé-l-Fath Riny. He was one of 
the four hundred court poets of Sultan Mahmud and 
his successors, and rose to the office of king of poets. 
Authors who wished to be encouraged by the Sultan had 
to submit their verses to ’oncory and he decided on their 
merits, he at the same time described the victories of the 
Ghaznawides in Qacydahs, a description of poetry particu- 
larly well suited to the monotony of eastern music, and 
they were sung at the parties of the court. He died in 
431 or 441 and left from 20 to 30,000 verses, among his 
poems was وامق و عدرا‎ but Taqyy Kashy, who with great 
pains obtained a copy of the Dywan, containing about 
5000 verses of Qacydahs, thinks it has been lost. Khoshgtt

Anwar, or Qasimy. He was born in a suburb of Tabryz, 
in 757, and devoted himself from his early age to the 
Cafy doctrine. First Cadr aldyn of Ardebyl was his 
spiritual guide. Qasim used to live in a burial ground 
and performed four times the pilgrimage to Makkah, 
twice on foot, barefooted and almost in a state of nudity. 
Subsequently he joined the school of Awhad aldyn 


No. 471 5 Qa’sIM. 533 


Kirmany, which is given to the wildést and most obscene 
revels, and he placed himself under the guidance of Cadr 
aldyn ’alyy Yamany. His doctrines as a Cufy are not 
considered orthodox, yet he had immense success owing 
to his winning manners, the depth of his genius, and 
the great austerity of his life. When he resided at 
Herat in Khorasdén the crowd of his disciples was so 
numerous and enthusiastic that: Shahrokh the ruler of 
that province was afraid of disturbances, and there is 
reason to suppose that the saint was implicated in a plot 
to assassinate him. Shahrokh ordered him to leave the 
city, but he would have defied the royal command had 
not Baysangor paid him a visit and persuaded him by 
his friendly advice to leave the city. He proceeded to 
Balkh and Samargand, but subsequently returned to 
Herat at the request of the same sovereign who had 
expelled him. He died at Kharjard near Jam, in 837, and 
left besides this Dywan a Mathnawy and several Cafy 
treatises in prose; (Bland, 4. Cent. of Pers. Ghazals.) (

A beautiful old copy of the complete works of Sa’dy is in the 
Moty Mahall, probably written during the life time of Bystiin. They 
have been edited in two folio volumes by Mr. Harington in Cal- 
cutta, 1791—95, (this edition is very rare in India) ; and they have 
been lithographed at Bombay, A. H. 1226, small folio 413 pp. re-

printed at Tabryz. 

In the Farah-bakhsh library, is a copy of the Gulistan, which cost 
1500 Rupees, it is the most beautifully written book I have ever

The Gulistén has been repeatedly printed in Europe, at Constan- 
tinople, Bulak, Tabryz, Teheran, and upwards of a hundred times in 
India, the best editions are Calcutta, 1851, and Lucnow, (lith.) 1264 
with excellent glosses. There are four or five lithographed Lucnow 
editions with interlinear Urdû translation and with marginal notes, 
as Mortadhawy press, s. a. (1264), and in two Lucnow editions the 
Bostan is printed on the margin. For Urdû translations of the 
Gulistan see infra. 

The Bostan has also frequently been separately edited ; as “ Bostan 
to which is added a compendious Commentary together with a 
Dictionary of such words as are hard of meaning, now first compiled 
expressly for this edition by Moolvy Tumnuzuddy, (lithographed) 
Calcutta, 1828,” 4to. 228 pp. I have not seen a separate vocabulary 
in this edition. Lithographed Lucnow, Mohammady press, 1262, 
with. notes by. Sayyidy, ’abd al-Rahmén Khan, Bahar, &c., this 
edition and its numerous reprints, such as Moctafay press, 1265,

The poetical works of Sayf aldyn A’raj (the lame) of 
Isfaranj or Isfarah اسعره‎ in Transoxania. He was pa- 
tronized by the Khwarezm-shahians. Dawlat-shah and 
Khoshgti think that his patron was Y1-arslûan (reigned ac- 
cording to Abu-lfida from 551 to 568) but the author of the 
Kholacah states that he lived at the court of Takash the 
son of Yl-arslan and of his son Mokammad who is called 
Sinjar II. and reigned from 589 to 617. This statement 
is confirmed by the Dywan, most Qacydahs are in praise 
of Sultan ’ala aldyn Sinjar, and some are in praise of 
Mahmud a younger brother of Takash. Towards the 
end of his life he gave himself up to ascetic exercises 
and took Sayf aldyn Bakharsy who died in 648 or 650 
as his spiritual guide. The above dates fix the time 
when he flourished with sufficient accuracy, and on their

strength we at once reject the statement of Wélih—that 
he died in 573, and that of the Biyédh of the As. Soc.

be equally wrong in stating that he died in 666 at the 
age of 85 years, and consequently that he was born in 
581, it is likely that 666 is a clerical error. His Dywan

The Dywan of Aqa Malik Shahy, who is usually called 
Amyr Shahy, because he was descended of the noble 
family of Sarabdar. He had originally the takhalluc of 
Aqa Malik. During the reign of Baysangor, he spent his 
time at Sabzwar and being an agreeable companion, and 
accomplished in painting and music, he was much at 
court, but owing to a slight which he received, he retired 
to his ancestral estates which were restored to him by the 
king. Towards the end of his life he was sent by Sultan 
Babar the son and successor of Baysanqor to Astrabad 
to make a drawing of his palaces, and he died in that city 
in 857 more than seventy years of age. (Taqyy Kashy, 
No. 123; Khosgt I. No. 311; Dawlat-shah, 7, 1 ; see also 
supra p. 79). According to a note in the commencement 
of the Dywan he died in 825. The statements of the Mirat 
alkhiyal, p. 96, and of the Atishkadah, p. 111, which 
place his death in 859, and 467 are to be considered as 
typographical errors. Taqyy Kashy says that out of 
12,000 verses which he composed, only 1000 have been 
preserved, this agrees with the statement contained in a 
note in the commencement of the MS.

The Dywan of Shah Shaykh Sharaf aldyn Abû ’alyy, 
who was familiarly called Qalandar. He was a native of 
the ’iraq, but came at the age of four years to Dilly to 
visit the tomb of Qotob aldyn and was brought up under 
the care of the holy men of that city as a saint. After 
he had been twenty years under their tuition, and 
after he had spent twenty years more in prayers and 
devotion, he went to see the world, and on his journeys 
he made the acquaintance of Shams Tabryz and 
Mawlawy Jalal aldyn Rûmy. After his return to 
India he lived in seclusion. He died in 724 and is 
buried at Panypat (Khoshgt, I. N. 227). I believe the 
Makhdtim-zadahs, one of the four castes of Musalmans 
who inhabit Panypat are descended from him. They do 
not condescend to intermarry with any other caste of 
Musalmans, their sole occupation was to attend at the 
tomb of their ancestor, and they were richly endowed for 
it by the emperors, some of their jagyrs or rent free 
lands they possess up to this day. ’abd al-Haqq Dihlawy, 
Akhbar alakhyar, p. 278, says that the حکم نام شی‎

(544) دیوان الفت‎ (P.) 
The Dywan of Ulfat. According to a pencil note in 
the fly-page his name was Shah Walyy Allah, but this is 
not probable, for Shah Walyy Allah had the takhalluç of 
Ishtiyaq. In another note in the fly-page is written in 
ink “the late Myrza Mohammad ’alyy whose takhalluç 
was Ulfat,” andin a third note we read دیواں العت سلمداللۂ‎ 
from which we might infer that he was still alive in 
1805 when this copy was written.

only son, who he had hoped would be his representative 
after his death, the plan suggested itself to him to write

1019, of the composition.

Qudrat of Gopamaw. He came in 1227 to Madras 
where he compiled this book and he dedicated it to Siraj 
aldawlah Mohammad Ghawth Khan (see p. 172). Among 
the sources, he mentions the Tadzkirahs described under 
Nos. 32, 18, 19, 14, 13, 24, 25, and also the Safynah of 
By-Khabar (see p. 144), Gule Ra’na (see pp, 145 and 
645), Baharistane Sokhon by ‘abd al-Razzaq and Shame 
Gharyban by Shafyq of Awrangabad.

The Lancet of Love. This is the poetical title of a 

Tadzkirah of Persian poets, compiled by Hosayn Quly- 
Khan af Patna a son of Aqû Quly Khan of Dilly. His 
takhallu¢ was ‘ishq, and he completed this work in 1230. 
He undertook it at the request of Mr. Elhot. Among 


No. 732.[ NASHTARE “ISHQ. 645 


the authorities are the works described under Nos. 
7, 16, 34, 25, 24, 23, 18, 21,19, 13, 14, and the follow- 
ing: Hayat alsho’ara, and the Mardume dydah, or 
the pupil of the eye (see page 144 supra), Tadzkirah 
By-natzyr by Myr ‘abdal-Wahhab see pp. 144 and 
213. He also used گل‌رهنا‎ (see p. 145) by Lachmy 
Narayan whose takhalluc was Shafyg. Under his ta- 
khalluc, we find the following account of Lachmy 
Narayan, his father Mansa Ram was a Khatry, who 
derived his descent from the Panjab, but his grandfather 
had settled at Awrangabad. Lachmy Narayan was born 
in 1158 and was instructed in Persian literature by Azad. 
He wrote Persian and Rékhtah verses and used first the 
takhalluc of Cahib, subsequently he changed it at the 
request of Azad into Shafyq. His tadzkirah contains an 
account of the poets of India and has considerable merit. 

Us apparently a general Tadzkirah by‏ اللطائف 
Mawlawy Radin ’alyy Khan of Farrokhabad a son of‏ 
Bahramand Khan. He had the takhallu¢ of Yman and‏ 
was a good Arabic and Persian scholar. He died at‏

by Myrza Janjanan Matzhar who‏ خربطه جواهر اندوخنہ 
was born in 1110, see pp. 256 and 488.‏ 

Besides he professes to have used several historical 
works and dictionaries such as the Cubh Cadigq, Firishtah, 
Ayyn Akbary. A copy of the Cubh Cadiq, which is 
also mentioned by Azad see p. 144 supra is in the col- 
lection of Sir H. Elliot.
