He is a young man in the flower of manhood. He was for a long time in Gujarāt with Khvāja Nizāmu-d-dīn Ahmad, and at first assumed the nom de plume of Ghānī, which the Khvāja changed, giving him his present takhallus. He is now in the service of His Majesty’s eldest son. His disposition is pleasing. The following quatrain is his:—

Although through his enlightenment of soul I am as conspicuous as the Sun, Still I know not how to light the lamp of my own lot.
