Notes
The book includes a collection of ghazals by Sayyid Nadir Shah Khan, son of Sayyid Gawhar Khan Kayani. The initial page indicates that the poetry does not strictly adhere to the principles of classical poetry, with some instances of mathnawi (narrative poetry) employed. On page 42, there is a madih (eulogy) of ʿAla Hadrat, on pages 103, 105, and 107, mukhammas (five-line stanzas) in response to the ghazals of Khwajah Hafiz and possibly Zahir Faryabi, followed by rubaʿiyat (quatrains). Page 119 features a eulogy for ʿAla Hadrat Nadir Shah Badshah. | Digitization for the Sufi Shrine Libraries of the Afghan-Pakistan Frontier collection was sponsored by the Modern Endangered Archives Program with funding from Arcadia. | unknown
