The number of the ḳaṣ&icirc;das is expressed in this ta&rsquo;r&icirc;kh by the units, viz. 1, 6, 4, 6, 1, 1, and 7=26; the number of the ghazals by the tens, viz. 30, 10, 50, 70, 80, 10, 10, and 10=270; the number of the rub&acirc;&rsquo;&icirc;s and ḳiṭ&rsquo;as by the hundreds, viz. 200, 300, and 200 = 700 (i.e. 380 rub&acirc;&rsquo;&icirc;s and 320 ḳiṭ&rsquo;as). The further remark of the transcriber of this copy, that this ta&rsquo;r&icirc;kh also gives the date of the poet&rsquo;s death, is wrong; the proper chronograms for his decease, viz. 999, are استاد البشر (see A.
