He lived in Agra after the fashion of humble men and the style of bygone days. This opening couplet of a qaṣidah is his:—

Owes it to his good fortune. It is his good fortune that

On the discussion raised by Kāhī and Ghazālī* he wrote the following quatrain:—

“Kāhī and Ghazālī, those two drunken fools,
Have put hand to pen to belittle Jāmī* and Navā'ī.*

For Kāhī* is nought but straw and Ghazālī* is nought but
a dog.”
