LXI. SIPĀHĪ.*

245 He was the grandson of the famous Khwāja Kalān Beg.* This quatrain is by him.

“Alas, that the season of the rose has passed so quickly,
Alas, that it has passed in the twinkling of an eye!
Without thy eyes and the down on thy cheek the violet
and the hyacinth
Pass their days in blindness and in mourning.”*

He died in Āgra in the year H. 978 (A.D. 1570-71).
