He was a descendant of Jahângîr’s wazîr, Âṣafkhân Ja’far Kazwînî, and lived under ‘Âlamgîr in Akbarâbâd. The dîwân begins, on fol. 40b, with ḳaṣîdas, the initial bait of which runs thus: اى كرده دل دوست تو ايجاد كرم را الخ.

Beginning: خداوندا دلى ده داغ پرورد – سراپا داغ و داغش سربسر درد بمهر خود مرا گرم آشنا كن – دلم را نسخۀ مهر و وفا کن 2.The second, on ff. 54b-112, is styled, on ff. 1a and 54a, شيرين و خسرو, but this seems to be incorrect too; on fol. 59a, l. 2, the real title appears, شمع انجمن, in the following bait: گفت ناگه هاتفى در گوش من نام اين مجموعه شمع انجمن Beginning, on fol.54b: اى وجودت واجب و ممكن همه بر وجودت مؤمن و موقن همه The author of both mathnawîs is probably the same; the only poet of ‘Âlamgîr’s time, to whom a mathnawî, مهر و وفا, is ascribed, is ‘Ârif of Lâhûr, see Makhzan-algharâ’ib, No. 1672 (col. 354 in the Bodleian Cat.).
