Irādat Khān

Memoirist/Poet

Mubārak-Allāh “Vāżiḥ” passed much of his life in the service of Mughal Emperor Awrangzīb (r. 1069/1658 to 1119/1707, see Awrangzīb (ʿĀlamgīr I)) and his successors. It was Awrangzīb who conferred on him the title of Irādat Ḫān (definition?), the same title that both his father and grandfather held during the reigns of Awrangzīb’s predecessors. Irādat Ḫān is mostly known for his work entitled Tārīḫ-i Irādat Ḫān, also referred to as aqtal al-salāṭīn or ubārak-nāmah.
