(Oxford: India Office, 1903): volume 1, number 2388 here with notations and hyperlinks].</li> </ul> 1630 Shaukat’s ghazals. This copy of Shaukat’s lyrical poems contains the ghazals, intermixed with rubâ’îs and fards, arranged alphabetically in two series. First series, on ff. 1b-130a, beginning as usually: خدايا رنگ الخ. This series goes from the rhyme-letter ا to ى. Second series, on ff. 130b-158b, beginning with a rubâ’î: رخساره نمود همچو پاى همه را الخ This series is separated from the first by four rubâ’îs, which stand outside the alphabetical system, and goes down from the rhyme-letter ا to م only. Dated the 3rd of Ramaḍân, A.H. ١١٤ (1140 ? or 1104 ?=A.D. 1728, April 13, or 1693, May 8), by Ḥâfiż Muḥammad Ṣâliḥ, son of Ḥâfiż Abû-alkhair. Calcutta, March, 1806.

(Oxford: India Office, 1903): volume 1, number 911 here with notations and hyperlinks].</li> </ul> 1629 Another copy of the same. This very badly-written copy contains, as first part, instead of the mathnawî, the ḳaṣîdas of Shaukat, which are entirely wanting in the preceding copy; but, unfortunately, they are defective at the beginning and open abruptly thus: رويم بسوى غربت و دل جانب وطن افتاده كاه من بميان دو كهربا A number of these ḳaṣîdas are in praise of Mirzâ Sa’d-aldîn Muḥammadkhân, the governor of Khurâsân (see a prominent specimen of them in No. 1146 of the Bodleian Cat.), others celebrate the Imâm Riḍâ. On fol. 18b begins the collection of ghazals, rubâ’îs, and fards, in alphabetical order, with the same bait as in the preceding copy: خدايا رنگ الخ . Some ḳiṭ’as and rubâ’îs at the end. Ff. 215a-220a are a repetition of fol. 207a, first line, to fol. 211a, l. 12. No date. No. 911, ff.220, 2 coll., each ll. 17-19; written by many different hands in various styles of Nasta’lîḳ; size, 91/8 in. by 51/2 in.

<ul> <li>Dîwân-i-Shaukat</li> <li>This manuscript is now IO Islamic 1628 in the India Office collections.</li> <li>[metadata: Hermann Ethé, Catalogue of Persian Manuscripts in the Library of the India Office, 2 vols. (Oxford: India Office, 1903): volume 1, number 708 here with notations and hyperlinks].</li> </ul> Shaukat (Nos. 1628-1633). 1628 Dîwân-i-Shaukat (ديوان شوكت). Lyrical and epical poems by Maulânâ (khwâjah or Mullâ) Muḥammad Isḥaḳ (or Abû Isḥaḳ), or-according to others-Muḥammad Ibrâhim, with the takhalluṣ Shaukat of Bukhârâ, who went, A.H. 1088 (A.D. 1677), to Harât, later on to Mashhad, and finally settled in Iṣfahân, where he died, A.H. 1107 (A.D. 1595, 1596). He collected his dîwân in A.H. 1093 (A.D. 1682); comp. Bodleian Cat., Nos. 1145 and 1146; Khulâṣat-alafkâr, No. 151 (ib., col. 307); Rieu ii. p. 698; W. Pertsch, Berlin Cat., p. 934; A. Sprenger, Catal., p. 568; Krafft, p. 69, etc. The statement of the Muntakhab-alash’âr, No. 330 (col. 246 in the Bodleian Cat.) that he was a native of Iṣfahân, went to India and was killed by a young Hindû, is obviously wrong. Equally wrong are the data of his life both in G. Flügel i. pp. 588 and 589, where he is, on the authority of Ḥ. Khalfa vi. p. 575, No. 14708, represented as a contemporary of Shâh Isma’îl II, and in the Hamîsha Bahâr (A. Sprenger, Catal., p. 124), where he is said to have been probably alive as late as A.H. 1136 (A.D. 1720, 1721). A Turkish commentary on Shaukat’s dîwân is noticed in G. Flügel i. p. 590. Contents: A large mystical mathnawî, without any special heading, on fol. 2b, beginning: حمد و شكر اورا كه هرچه هست اوست دام هستى حلقه از هاى و هوست The first page of this poem is repeated on fol. 1b; ff. 168 and 169 are misplaced, and must, as belonging to the lyrical portion of this MS., be inserted between ff. 187 and 188. Ghazals, intermixed with rubâ’îs, and fards, all in alphabetical order, on fol. 186b, beginning: خدايا رنگ تأثيرى كرامت كن فغانم را بموج اشك بلبل آب ده تيغ زبانم را Dated the 2nd of Dhû-alḥijjah, A.H. 1138 (A.D. 1726, Aug. 1). No. 708, ff. 346, 2 coll., each ll. 12-14; written by at least three different hands on different paper in partly careful, partly careless Nasta’lîḳ; many pages greatly injured; size, 8¼ in. by 5¾ in.

Lyrical poems by ‘Îsâ, who flourished under Shâh Sulaimân Ṣafawî of Persia (A.H. 1077-1105=A.D. 1666-1694), as several of his ḳaṣîdas are in praise of that monarch; he therefore cannot be identical with an older poet, Ḳâḍî Masîḥ-aldîn ‘Îsâ of Sâwa, who flourished under Sulṭân Ya’ḳûb, and was killed A.H. 898=A.D. 1493 (see Muntakhab-alash’âr, No. 473, ib., col. 279, and Makhzan-algharâ’ib, No. 1596, ib., col. 352). This dîwân contains: A short preface in prose, on fol. 1b, beginning: خورشيد سپاس متكلّم بيچون از آن رفيقه است كه مسيح قلم بدستيارئ مريم افكار الخ . Ḳaṣîdas (several in honour of Shâh Sulaimân), ḳiṭ’as, and short mathnawîs, on fol. 3b, beginning: ميزند آئينۀ حسن بتان جوش صفا تا غبارى هست از خاكستر دلها بجا Ghazals, in alphabetical order, followed by rubâ’is and fards, beginning, on fol. 65b: يا رب از زنگ هوس پاك كن آئينۀ ما الخ No date.

(Oxford: India Office, 1903): volume 1, number 882 here with notations and hyperlinks].</li> </ul> 1625 Dîwân-i-Kirâmî (ديوان كرامى). The lyrical poems of Kirâmî (Girâmî in A. Sprenger, pp. 128 and 412, and in Rieu ii. p. 714a, and iii. p. 1092a; Karâmî in W. Pertsch, Berlin Cat., Index, p. 1172b, or Kurrâmî, ib., p. 1189b), whose autograph this copy seems to be, since there are many blanks left between the single poems, probably with the intention of filing them up afterwards with poems of the same rhyme-letter; according to the chronogram in the last verse on the last page, آخر شد, it was finished A.H. 1105 (A.D. 1693, 1694). The poet must therefore have flourished towards the beginning of the twelfth century of the Hijrah, and may be identical with Mirzâ ‘Abd-alraḥmân Kirâmî, the son of Amânatkhân (who was in ‘Âlamgîr’s service); see the Hamîsha Bahâr in A. Sprenger, Catal., p. 128; Makhzan-algharâ’ib, No. 2200 (col. 369 in the Bodleian Cat.), and W. Pertsch, Berlin Cat., p. 655, No. 38. Another well-known poet, with the same takhalluṣ, is the Kashmîrîan poet Mirzâ Kirâmî, son of Mirzâ ‘Âbd-alghanîbeg Ḳabûl and brother of Mirzâ Arjumand Âzâd (the father died A.H. 1139=A.D. 1726, 1727; Mirzâ Kirâmî himself A.H. 1155=A.D. 1742, comp. Rieu, loc. cit.; A. Sprenger, Catal., p. 128, where it is stated that he was a young man in A.H. 1136=A.D. 1723, 1724; and Makhzan-algharâ’ib, No. 2198). Besides these two there are mentioned in the various tadhkiras: Ḥasanbeg Kirâmî Shâmlû, who was a high official under Jahângîr, see Khulâṣat-alafkâr, No. 434 (col. 314 in the Bodleian Cat.); Makhzan-algharâ’ib, No. 2126 (ib. col. 367); and W.

Lyrical poems of Ḥâjî Farîdûn or Âḳâ Farîdûn Ḥusain, with the takhalluṣ Sâbiḳ, who went to India under ‘Âlamgir and was still alive in Lâhûr A.H. 1103 (A.D. 1691, 1692), as a short postscript of the poet himself, on fol. 209b, is dated Jumâdâ-alûlâ of that year. Sâbiḳ is mentioned in A. Sprenger, Catal., p. 123, l. 8 ab infra; in the Ṣuḥuf-î-Ibrâhîm, see W.

Bat. ii. p. 107; see also Rosen, Persian MSS., p. 167 (No. 109); Muntakhab-alash’âr, No. 458 (col. 249 in the Bodleian Cat.); Khulâṣat-alkalâm, No. 178 (ib., col. 308), and Makhzan-algharâ’ib, No. 1743 (ib., col. 355). All tadhkiras agree about the date A.H. 1108, but a strange contradiction appears in the chronogram, composed by Sarkhwush, the friend of the poet and the collector of his dîwân: آه على بعالم معنى رفت , which gives A.H. 1109, see A. Sprenger, Catal., p. 113, and the Khulâṣat-alkalâm, loc. cit. This copy, the fullest in the India Office Collection, contains: Ghazals, rubâ’îs, and fards, all mixed together in alphabetical order, with interlinear and marginal glosses, on fol.1b, beginning: محبّت جادّۀ دارد نهان در خلوت دلها الخ At the end of this part another series of rubâ’îs (on ff. 95a-99b). Ḳaṣîdas, on fol. 100a, beginning: گداخت بسكه هواى تموز مغز خيال الخ The poet’s name appears as takhalluṣ several times, for instance, on fol. 106b, I. 8. The diwân has been lithographed in Lucknow, 1844, A.H. 1263 and 1281. Copied by Khwâjah ‘Ażim in the twenty-ninth year of Muḥammadshâh’s reign (=A.H. 1160, A.D. 1747); the larger portion of the dîwân, i.e. to the end of the rubâ’îs, was finished the 19th of Muḥarram in that year (1747, Jan. 31). No. 1078, ff. 110, 2 coll., each ll. 14; careless Nasta’lîḳ; size, 8 in. by 5½ in.

Two romantic stories in verse by Mîr ‘Askarî ‘Âḳilkhân Râzî, who was in high favour with the emperor ‘Âlamgîr, and died as governor of the province of Dihlî in Rabî’ II, A.H. 1108 (A.D. 1696, Nov.); comp. Bodleian Cat., Nos. 1148 and 1149; Rieu ii. p. 699; A. Sprenger, Catal., pp. 123 and 543; W. Pertsch, Berlin Cat., p. 935; Khulâṣat-alkalâm, No. 29 (col. 297 in the Bodleian Cat.); Ouseley, Notices of Persian Poets, p. 167 sq. Besides the three mathnawîs, contained in The India Office Collection, he also composed the نغمات العشق , the ظفرنامۀ عالمگيرى, also styled واقعات عالمگيرى, a history of the first five years of ‘Âlamgîr’s reign (see Nos. 345 and 346 above), and a dîwân, which is described both in the Bodleian Cat. and in A. Sprenger, loc. cit. The present copy contains: 1.Ff.1-80: Sham’u Parwâna (شمع و پروانه), Candle and Moth, that is the Indian love-story of Ratan Sên (or Ratan) and Padamâwat (or Padam), composed A.H. 1069 (A.D. 1658, 1659), see fol. 80a, l. 2: سال هجرت هزار و شصت و نهم. The title appears in the heading of fol. 1a and on fol. 79a, lin. penult. It is based on an older Hindî story (see fol. 80a, l. 5), which had already been treated in Persian by Bazmî, A.H. 1028 (A.D. 1619), see Nos. 1582 and 1583 above. Beginning: اى فرازندۀ رواق سپهر – وى طرازندۀ سپهر بمهر A Persian prose-version of the same story, founded on this poem of Râzî, viz. فرح بخش, Laćhmî-Râm, is noticed in Rieu ii. p. 768b. Another prose-version is described in W. Pertsch, Berlin Cat., p. 998. Ff.81-87 contain smaller poetical pieces, ta’rîkhs, rubâ’is and tarji’band, probably by the same author, and an epilogue in prose by the transcriber, Mîr ‘Alî Muḥammad Akbar, who dated this copy the 25th of Dhû-alḥijjah, A.H. 1148 (eighteenth year of Muḥammadshâh’s reign)=A.D. 1736, May 7, in a place near Seringapatan. 2.Ff.88-170a: Mihr u Mâh (مهر و ماه), Sun and Moon, that is the Indian love-story of prince Manôhar and princess Madhumâlat, composed A.H. 1065 (A.D. 1655), see fol. 170a, lin. penult.: زهجرت يكهزار و شصت و پنج است, and last line: بخوان تأريخ اين ديباچۀ غم. In the Khâtimah this poem is styled قصّۀ عشق, fol. 168a, l. 7, and غم نامه, fol. 170a, lin. penult. It is, like the preceding mathnawî, based on an older Hindî story by Shaikh Jamman or Manjhan, which was first translated into Persian verse A.H. 1059 (A.D. 1649), see Rieu ii. pp. 700a and 803b, and three years after the second Persian adaptation by ‘Âḳilkhân Râzî, turned into Dakhnî verses by Miyân Nuṣratî A.H. 1068 (A.D. 1657, 1658), under the title of گلشن عشق , copies of which are found in the India Office Collection, Nos. 1434, 2486, and 2621; in the Bodleian Library, No. 2320 of the Cat., etc. Comp. A. Sprenger, Catal., p. 630, and Garcin de Tassy, Histoire de la Littér. Hindouie, etc. i. p. 388; ii. pp. 485 and 486; on prose-versions of the same story, see above, No. 803, 3. Beginning: خداوندا غم خود ده دلم را زعشق آسان نما هر مشكلم را Lithographed, Lucknow, 1846. Ff. 170b and 171a contain eight rubâ’îs; ff. 171b and 172a an epilogue of the transcriber, who is identical with that of the first mathnawî, viz. Mîr ‘Alî Akbar, and dated this poem the 26th of Dhû-alḳa’dah, A.H. 1148 (A.D. 1736, April 8), at بنواسى (Banwasse, as the place is called on the last fly-leaf).
