Haft Iḳl&icirc;m, No. 816 (col. 437 in this Cat.), and Khaz&acirc;na-i-&lsquo;&acirc;mirah, No. 30 (col. 256 in the Bodleian Cat.); only the &Acirc;tashkada, No. 148, and the Saf&icirc;nah, No. 253 (ib. col. 267 and coll. 219 and 220), fix the poet&rsquo;s death at later dates, viz. A.H. 970 (A.D. 1562, 1563) and A.H. 989 (A.D. 1581), during a journey to Kashm&icirc;r in Akbar&rsquo;s reign, respectively. The Muntakhab-alash&rsquo;&acirc;r, Transoxania, and the Makhzan-alghar&acirc;&rsquo;ib, No. 572 (ib. col. 327), fixes distinctly Bukh&acirc;r&acirc; as his birthplace; the &Acirc;&rsquo;&icirc;n-i-Akbar&icirc; (English translation by Blochmann, Calcutta, 1873, vol. i. p. 187) calls him Samarḳand&icirc;, but see the foot-note on the same page; other tadhkiras, for instance, Il&acirc;h&icirc;&rsquo;s خزينۀ گنج (A. Sprenger, Catal., p. 75), style him Ḥairat&icirc; Marw&icirc;. 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.</p> <p>Beginning:</p> <p>روز جزا مگر کند مرحمتی خدای ما</p> <p>ورنه کجا روا بود طاعت ناروای ما</p> <p>No date.
