The lyrical poems of Mullâ Muḥammad Ḥusain Nażîrî of Nîshâpûr, a pupil of Maḥsharî of Khwândsâr in Gujarât (see Safînah, No. 362, col. 223 in the Bodleian Cat.). He lived some time in Kâshân, where he had poetical contests with contemporary poets, and went then to India, where he entered the service of the Khânkhânân. In A.H. 1012 (A.D. 1603, 1604) he performed the pilgrimage to Makkah, and afterwards went To Gujarât. He died in Aḥmadâbâd, A.H. 1021 (A.D. 1612, 1613), according to two ta’rîkhs, viz. زدنيا رفت حسّان العجم آه , quoted in the Makhzan-algharâ’ib, No. 2738 (col. 385 in the Bodleian Cat.; the date A.H. 1022, as given in Blochmann, Â’în-i-Akbarî, p. 580 note, arises from the incorrect reading of the chronogram as از دنيا الخ, which is against the metre هزج), and مركز دائرۀ بزم كجا است, by Dâghistânî (see Blochmann, loc. cit.); the Khazâna-i-’âmirah also fixes his death in A.H. 1021 (No. 124, col. 259, in the Bodleian Cat.). Other, incorrect, dates given are A.H. 1019 (in the Ṭabaḳât-i-Shâhjahânî = A.D. 1610, 1611) and A.H. 1023 (A.D. 1614), see Safînah, No. 552 (col. 229 in the Bodleian Cat.), and Ouseley, Biographical Notices, p. 252. The Hamîsha Bahâr (A. Sprenger, Catal., p. 130) assigns the poet’s death, quite wrongly, to the beginning of Shâhjahân’s reign. Other copies of Nażîrî’s dîwân are described in Bodleian Cat., Nos. 1074 and 1075; Rieu ii. pp. 817b and 818a; A. Sprenger, Catal., pp. 515, 516; W.

Nażîrî’s brother, Maulânâ Sharaf of Nîshâpûr, was a famous musician in the service of the Khânkhânân, see Blochmann, p. 613, note 3.

Sprenger, Catal., p. 91), where, however, the wrong date of A.H. 1020 (A.D. 1611, 1612) is given for the completion of that mathnawî. The earlier date of Zulâlî’s death, given in the Safînah, No. 382 (col. 224 in the Bodleian Cat.), as well as in the Khulâṣat-alkalâm, No. 32 (ib., col. 297), viz.

The seven mathnawîs, which are also styled سبعه سيّاره, هفت سيّاره, هفت آشوب, or, as here (and in No. 1497 too), آشوب نامه ,تصنيف زلالى, are arranged in the following order in this copy: 1.Sulaimânnâma (سليمان نامه), also styled Sulaimân u Balḳîs (سليمان و بلقيس), the story of king Solomon and the queen of Sheba, on fol. 1b, beginning: بنانم جهانگیر دلهای تنگ – که آمد سليمانش يك مور لنگ Of the author’s prose-preface to this mathnawî only a portion is left, on fol. 1a, beginning: سواد مبارك مدّتى الخ……. , corresponding to No. 253 (1496 in the Cat.), fol. 48b, l. 5 ab infra. 2.Muḥmûd wa Ayâz ( محمود و اياز), the story of Sulṭân Maḥmûd of Ghazna and his beloved slave Ayâz, preceded on fol. 20b by a preface, which combines the general ديباچه of the seven mathnawîs with the special short preamble, belonging to this poem exclusively (as a comparison with No. 1496 in this Cat. and with No. 1081 in the Bodleian Cat. proves, comp. also Rieu ii. p. 677b), beginning: تقدير قدرت و تصوير صنعت صانعى و قادرى را مقدور و مصوّرست الخ. The special preface (not separated from the other) begins on fol. 21b, l. 11, the mathnawî itself on fol. 22b: بنام آنكه محمودش ايازست – غمش بتخانۀ ناز و نيازست This mathnawî was commenced in A.H. 1001 (A.D. 1592, 1593) and completed A.H. 1024 (A.D. 1615), see the chronogram in Rieu and Sprenger, loc. cit. The poet was therefore engaged in it for twenty-three years, not merely for thirteen, as the Safînah and the Khulâṣat-alkalâm assert (see above). It was edited Lucknow, A.H. 1290 (A.D. 1874). A defective copy of the same is also noticed in W. Pertsch, Berlin Cat., p. 910. 3.Shu’la-i-Dîdâr (شعلۀ دیدار), ‘the flame of vision,’ a mystical and didactic mathnawî in forty-nine شعله or flames, preceded, on fol. 174b, by a preface, beginning: سبحان الله از تنبيه اين آيه در فهرست نظر شعلۀ ديدار الخ. Beginning of the mathnawî, on fol. 175b: نام او تاج سر هر نامۀ – شعلۀ دیدار هر هنگامۀ 4.Maikhâna (ميخانه), ‘the wine-tavern,’ in forty قدح or cups, preceded, on fol. 194b, by a preface, beginning: الحمد لله از دوستكانى اين آيۀ الهى پیمانه الخ Beginning of the mathnawî, on fol. 196b: نام او باده سينه ميخانه – دهن هر كه هست پیمانه 5. Ḥusn-i-Gulûsûz (حسن گلوسوز), ‘the sweetest beauty,’ in forty-one جلوه or effulgences, preceded, on fol. 218a, by a preface, beginning: تعالى شانه ازين آيه مطالعۀ فیروز در شان فهرست الخ. Beginning of the mathnawî, on fol. 219b: بسم الله الرّحمن الرّحيم – نصّ صحيح است كلام قديم The initial bait in No. 1081 of the Bodleian Cat., viz.: بسم اللّه الرّحمن الرّحيم – تير شهابست بديو رجيم Is found here on fol. 220b, l. 5 ab infra. 6.Âdhar u Samandar (آذر و سمندر), ‘fire and salamander,’ preceded, on fol. 243b, by a preface, beginning:آه ازين آيۀ دلسوز اثر در جگر گدازى الخ. Beginning of the mathnawî, on fol. 245b: نامش عشقست و حسن دفتر – آتش ساقيست كوسمندر 7.Dharra u Khwurshîd (ذرّه و خورشيد), ‘moth and sun,’ preceded, on fol. 260b, by a preface, beginning: ماشاء الله ازين آيه بيم و امّيد در فهرست نثر الخ Beginning of the mathnawî, on fol. 261b: سخنم كرد بنامش جاويد -ذرّه را جوهر تيغ خورشيد The initial bait in No. 1081 of the Bodleian Cat. (quoted in Sprenger, loc. cit., too), viz. نام او كرد مرا شعله فروز – نتوان گفت بآتش كه مسوز Is found here, on fol. 261b, lin. penult., as the twelfth verse of the poem. In the same copy of the Bodleian Cat. an eighth mathnawî, without title, is noticed. No date. No. 403, ff. 271, 2 coll., each ll. 21; Nasta’lîḳ; size, 93/8 in. by 51/8 in.

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.

A large (but by no means complete) collection of the poetical and prose-works of Maulânâ Nûr-aldin Muḥammad Żuhûrî of Tarshîz, or rather of Khujand near Tarshîz, in Khurâsân, who went in early life to Yazd and betook himself A.H. 988 (A.D. 1580) to the Dakhan, where he, like Malik Ḳummî, first settled in Aḥmadnagar, and afterwards in Bîjâpûr. He married Malik Ḳummî’s daughter and died, according to most tadhkiras, A.H. 1025 (A.D. 1616), see the preceding copy of Malik Ḳummî’s Kulliyyât; only Beale, Oriental Biographical Dictionary, p. 286b, gives the later date, A.H. 1026 (A.D. 1617), and the Khulâṣat-alkalâm, No. 44 (col. 298 in the Bodleian Cat.), fixes his death in A.H. 1025 or 1027 (A.D. 1618); see besides Safînah, No. 559 (col. 229 in the Bodleian Cat.); Khaznâna-i-’âmirah, No. 75 (ib., col. 258); Khulâṣat-alafkâr, No. 167 (ib., col. 308); Makhzan-algharâ’ib, No. 1503 (ib., col. 349), and A. Sprenger, Catal., pp. 44, 112, 125, and 151; other copies of Żuhûri’s works are described in Bodleian Cat., Nos. 1076-1080; Rieu ii. pp. 678 and 679, 741 and 742, etc.; A. Sprenger, Catal., p. 580; pp. 909 and 910, etc. ‘Abd-alrazzâḳ Sûrati’s notice of the poet, under the title of مقدّمات ظهورى (written A.H. 1212=A.D. 1797, 1798), has been lithographed in Cawnpore, 1873. The present collection contains: 1.A prose-treatise of the same character as Żuhûrî’s well-known prefaces to the Nauras, the Gulzâr-i-Ibrâhîm, and the Khwân-i-Khalil, but different from these three and from all the other treatises hitherto known as composed by the same author, in spite of the frequent mention of the گلزار ابراهیم, see fol. 1b, ll. 4 and 5: گلزار ابراهیم نام نهاد ; fol.2a, l. 4 ab infra: آب بگلزار ابراهیم داد, and fol. 4b, last line : كه شد گلزار ابراهیم نامش (the genuine preface to the گلزار ابراهیم follows in No. 4 of the present copy). Beginning, on fol. 1b: اى نورس گلزار براهیم از تو وی آتش نمرود تف بیم از تو پیرایۀ داد و زینت عدل توئى تمكين سرير شان ديهيم از تو This treatise, in ornate prose, interspersed with verses, seems like the three, mentioned above, written in homage of Ibrâhîm ‘Âdilshâh II (see No. 1499). 2.Manba’-alanhâr (منبع الانهار), a mathnawî, which is ascribed in A. Sprenger, Catal., p. 482, to Malik Ḳummî, and appears there in the Kulliyyât of that poet; but the Khulâṣat-alkalâm (see above) gives extracts from this poem under Żuhûrî, see Elliott Coll., No. 184 in the Bodleian Library, ff. 40b-44b. Beginning, on fol. 5b: بسم الله الرّحمن الرّحيم – اهدنا الصّراط المستقيم The title (not mentioned in the Khulâṣat-alkalâm) appears in the last bait: منبع انهار بپايان رسيد. It is divided into eighteen نهر, with numerous subdivisions. As a strange coincidence it may be noted, that on fol. 11a, l. 11, the same bait is used which appears in Zulâlî’s حسن گلوسوز, see No. 1494, fol. 220b, l. 5 ab infra, and No. 1496, fol. 40b, viz.: بسم الله الرّحمن الرّحيم – تير شهابست بديو رجيم 3.Tarkîbbands, tarjî’s, and ḳaṣîdas, intermixed with some ḳiṭ’as and ghazals, and concluded (on fol. 130b sq.) by various strings of rubâ’îs. Beginning, on fol. 66b: فتحست كليد بر گشادیم – بر نه ذر چرخ در گشادیم This initial poem has the following heading: بفتح ذرّ نه تو كليد گشایش از قلعه گشای فكر گرفتن و ذيل مدحت عادلخديو بر كمر تركيب بند كرده از خاتمه گرفتن‘ . 4.Preface to the گلزار ابراهيم, in ornate prose, mixed with verses, beginning, as in all other copies of this prose-treatise, on fol. 138b: خرّمى چمن سخن بطراوت حمد بهار پیرائيست كه گلزار ابراهیم در رخسار یوسف طالقان الخ. It is in praise of Ibrâhîm ‘Âdilshâh II, and concludes with the following bait: داستان شد ختم بستان رخش – غيرت گلزار ابراهيم باد 5.Another series of tarkîbbands, tarji’s, and ḳaṣidas, beginning, on fol. 146b: اى شده سود ازتو زيان همه – جنس غمت زيب دكان همه The initial ḳaṣîdah of No. 1076 of the Bodleian Cat., and No. 931 in the Berlin Collection cannot be traced in either series of tarkîbbands and ḳaṣîdas; nor is the long tarjî’band found here, which appears in the same copy of the Bodleian Library, fol. 24b sq. 6.Ghazaliyyât (غزليّات), beginning, on fol. 224b: بر داشتى نقاب زديدن برآمدم در گفتن آمدى زشنيدن برآمدم The usual initial ghazal, viz. داشت الخ خواهد (or آنكه) ايكه (see No. 1505), is not found in this copy; all ghazals, however, exhibit the takhalluṣ ظهورى. 7.Another very large collection of rubâ’îs, divided into twenty-two sections, beginning, on fol. 236b: بر مهر زعارض تو تقديم خوشست پیش تو زمه سجدۀ تعظيم خوشست There are also some additional rubâ’îs on the margin of ff. 244a-246b. This copy is not dated, but is decidedly one of the oldest we possess, since there are, on fol. 1a, several seals of the emperor Shâhjahân, to whose library this MS. belonged, with the dates A.H. 1045 and 1046 (A.D. 1635-1637). No. 327, ff. 284, 2 coll., each ll. 18; distinct Nasta’lîḳ; illuminated frontispieces on ff. 1b, 5b, and 138b; size, 105/8 in. by 57/8 in.
