The poetical works of Malik Ḳummî, who went about A.H. 987 (A.D. 1579) to the Dakhan, where he lived nearly forty years, first in Aḥmadnagar, later on in Bijâpûr in the service of Ibrâhîm ‘Âdilshâh II (A.H. 988-1037=A.D. 1580-1627), and died A.H. 1024 or 1025 (A.D. 1615 or 1616), according to some two months, according to others one year before his son-in-law, the poet Żuhûrî (see No. 1500 sq.); a few tadhkiras even state, that both poets died in the same affray, A.H. 1025. The latter date is, as far as Malik Ḳummî is concerned, corroborated by the following chronogram: او سر اهل سخن بود, comp. A. Sprenger, Catal., pp. 125, 151, and 481; Safînah, No. 560 (col. 229 in the Bodleian Cat.); Khulâṣat-alafkâr, No. 262 (ib., col. 311); Beale, Oriental Biogr.
