FARIRI OF Astarabad. Muntakhabu-t-tawārīkh (Ranking, Lowe, Haig) 315 - **Language:** English ### [315](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.315) He was a capable man. He died in Dihli. The following quatrain is by him:— “O thou whose face is bathed in rose-water, With ringlets coiling around it like wreathed violets, Thy eyes are like two beauties overcome with wine on one pillow Who have laid their heads together and are fallen asleep.” Couplet: “In these days freedom from care has become no more than a tale, Whither shall I go? What shall I do? The times are very evil.” “The piteous state of the faithful is caused by thy cruelty; Remove the sword, for their blood is on thy head.” - [Previous: 314](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.314) - [Next: 316.1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.316.1.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.315](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.315) · Pramāṇa
