Lyrical poems by Niżâm-aldîn Maḥmûd Ḳamar of Iṣfahân, who was a panegyrist of the Âl-i-Khujandî, the governors and ḳâḍîs of Iṣfahân. Of these famous Âl-i-Khujandî the Haft Iḳlim, Nos. 865 and 866 (see col. 441 above in this Cat.), mentions the two most prominent men, viz. Ṣadr-aldîn Khujandî, who was contemporary with Żahîr-aldîn Fâryâhi (see No. 971 above), and his son Jamâl-aldîn Khujandî; the poet must therefore have flourished towards the end of the sixth and the beginning of the seventh century of the Hijrah. The collection contains ḳaṣîdas, ḳiṭ’as, and rubâ’is, beginning, on fol. 76b: اى تماشاگاه جانت عالم حسن و خيال كى توانى خواند توحيد خداى ذو الجلال This dîwân forms the fourth part of the old collection of six Persian dîwâns (see Nos. 903, 911, and 913 above), written A.H. 713 or 714 (A.D. 1313, 1314), by ‘Abd-almu’min al’alawî alkâshî.
