He was moderately fond of study and was in the college at Dihlī. He was afterwards, by the emperor's order, appointed qāẓī of Sirhind,* and received his poetical name of Miḥnatī from the emperor. In Sirhind he passed away from this house of toil,* the world.

The following verses are by him:—

“I found in my path the print of her foot,
Why should I not press my cheek against it?
I have found her place.”

“The folk have lost their hearts in meditating on her waist,
slender as a hair;
I too, among them, have lost my broken heart.”
