The author states in the preface, that he had already compiled, before this work, another commentary on the difficult passages of Ḥ&acirc;fiż&rsquo; d&icirc;w&acirc;n, styled بحر الفراسة, that he was for a time attached to the Shaikh Maul&acirc;n&acirc; &lsquo;Abd-alrash&icirc;d (known as Muḥammad Rash&icirc;d) Yuw&acirc;nj&icirc;, and afterwards in the service of Shaikh P&icirc;r Muḥammad of Lakhnau, and that he then resolved upon writing a larger and fuller exegetical work on Ḥ&acirc;fiż. But this copy contains only a small portion of the poet&rsquo;s d&icirc;w&acirc;n; it comprises only the ghazals as far as the rhyme-letter ث , all the rest is missing, perhaps never completed by the author.</p> <p>Beginning: سپاس و ستایش خداوندیرا که اولیاء خود را بكلامى مخصوص ساخت الخ.</p> <p>The ghazals of Ḥ&acirc;fiż are not only, as is usual in d&icirc;w&acirc;ns, arranged according to the last rhyme-letter, but there are also subdivisions according to the <em>first</em> letter of the first bait of each ghazal, which are called <em>b&acirc;bs</em>. The larger divisions according to the rhyme-letter are styled <em>kit&acirc;b</em>.</p> <p>The right order of ff. 79-113 is: 79, 87, 88, 81-86, 80, 89-104, 112, 106-111, 105, 113.</p> <p>No. 1029, ff. 256, ll. 19; careless Nasta&rsquo;l&icirc;ḳ; size, 9^5/8 in. by 5^3/4 in.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
