Qandī. Muntakhabu-t-tawārīkh (Ranking, Lowe, Haig) 325 - **Language:** English ### [325](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.325) He came from Transoxiana to Āgra in the time of Bairām Khān, and there studied. I have seen no poetry of his but the following ode:— “The hermitage in which I follow my devotions is a corner of the wine-shop, The ecstatic shriek which I hear is the shout of the drunkards; My patched robe of devotion and piety has been pawned for wine, The gurgling of the wine-flask is for me the murmur of prayer and praise. Qandī was journeying, destitute, towards the temple of Makkah, When a lovely being waylaid him and he turned aside to the idol-temple.” - [Previous: 324](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.324) - [Next: 326](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.326) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.325](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.325) · Pramāṇa
