Ghazals by Maulânâ Muḥammad Taḳî-aldîn Ḥairatî of Tûn, who flourished under Shâh Ṭahmâsp, and died in Kâshân, A.H. 961 (A.D. 1554), comp. Haft Iḳlîm, No. 816 (col. 437 in this Cat.), and Khazâna-i-‘âmirah, No. 30 (col. 256 in the Bodleian Cat.); only the Âtashkada, No. 148, and the Safînah, No. 253 (ib. col. 267 and coll. 219 and 220), fix the poet’s death at later dates, viz. A.H. 970 (A.D. 1562, 1563) and A.H. 989 (A.D. 1581), during a journey to Kashmîr in Akbar’s reign, respectively. The Muntakhab-alash’âr, Transoxania, and the Makhzan-algharâ’ib, No. 572 (ib. col. 327), fixes distinctly Bukhârâ as his birthplace; the Â’în-i-Akbarî (English translation by Blochmann, Calcutta, 1873, vol. i. p. 187) calls him Samarḳandî, but see the foot-note on the same page; other tadhkiras, for instance, Ilâhî’s خزينۀ گنج (A. Sprenger, Catal., p. 75), style him Ḥairatî Marwî. For other copies see Bodleian Cat., No. 1031; Rieu ii. p. 874, and A. Sprenger, Catal., p. 424. The ghazals in this copy are arranged alphabetically, but only go down to the letter ع. Beginning: روز جزا مگر کند مرحمتی خدای ما ورنه کجا روا بود طاعت ناروای ما No date.
