He is a young man in the flower of manhood. He was for a long time in Gujarāt with Kh‘āja Niāmu-d-dīn Aḥmad, and at first assumed the nom de plume of Khanfī, which the Kh‘ājā changed, giving him his present takhalluṣ. He is now in the service of His Majesty's eldest son. His disposition is pleasing. The following quatrain is his:—

“I am one who can treasure up nought but grief;
Though I am all jealousy I cannot renounce the loved one,

Although through my enlightenment of soul I am as
conspicuous as the sun,
Still I know not how to light the lamp of my own lot.”
