“What need of joy or sorrow, for happiness or misery,
For while you wink your eye you see neither one nor the other?”

And in this year Jamál Khán, son of Shaikh Mangan of Badáún, who was a person of decided beauty, and one of my old bosom friends, being at Sambhal with Khán Kalán on the feast of Qurbán,* was attacked with bowel-complaint, and having been administered a mouthful of areca-nut by an ignorant hand fell sick and died. And this is the mnemosynon which was found for the date:—(P. 136)

“A hundred sighs for the youth and beauty of Kamál Khán.”*

And the Shaikh of nations Shaikh Yaqúb Çarfí of Kashmír invented this mnemosynon:—

“He gave up life on the Feast of Qurbán.”*
