He was a abāabā'ī* Sayyid, and as a boy was educated with Kāmrān Mīrzā.* He was for nearly fifty years in India, and it was in Hindūstān that he departed this life in the year A.H. 982 (A.D. 1574-75). The following two couplets are his:—

“How long, O sky, wilt thou keep me whirling around like ³²⁷
a mote in a sunbeam?
How long wilt thou keep me in exile and destitute?”

“I said, ‘with a sigh I will drive out grief from my heart.’
My grief is not lessened by sighs. Ah! What shall I
do?”
