<p>As a comparison with No. 756 of the Bodleian Cat. and Rieu ii. p. 613<sup>a</sup> shows, this is the introductory distich or verse of the ‘Silsilah,’ see above, No. 1186, 2.</p>
<p>This dîwân consists of ḳaṣîdas, ghazals, a series of short mathnawîs, ḳiṭ’as, and rubâ’îs (on fol. 476<sup>a</sup>).</p>

Two dates appear, viz. 16th of Shawwâl, A.H. 1011 (A.D. 1063, March 29), at the end of the first dîwân, and 24th of Rabî’-alâkhar, A.H. 1012 (A.D. 1603, October 1), at that of the third; the transcriber’s name was Madârî, son of Ḥâjî Shâhin of Dihlî (العبد الكاتب مدارى ولد حاجى الحرمين الشريفين حاجى شاهن دهلوى ).</p>
