He is acquainted with several branches of learning, and he received the title of Afẓal Khān. He came to Hindūstān from the Dakan and was enrolled for some time among the doctors of the sacred law. On the occasion on which Mīrzā Muqīm and Mīr Ḥabash were put to death* by the sentence of Mullā ‘Abdu-'llāh of Lāhor on a charge of heresy and of cursing the com­panions of Muḥammad* he fled in terror* from this country to the Dakan and departed thence for the next world. The following verses are his:—

“I tell love's secret to none but my own heart,
For my heart hears the word which I speak, and tells it not
again.”

“I placed my head on her feet, but she was vexed with me.
When I seized her skirt she snatched it away and passed
from me.”

“How long will the jealous watcher oppose my passing
through that door?
He girds up his loins in enmity against me. O Lord, let
him not gird up his loins!”

“Whenever the enemy comes to war against thee with helmet
on head,
When thou in battle smitest his helmet with thy sword,

(The sword) cleaves his helmet as a pen divides the
columns on the paper, and, with the red blood,
Draws a ruled column on the page of the field of battle.”
