Muntakhab al-tawarikh 378: Conclusion.

378

This is the account of some of those poets, most of whom were contemporary with the author and were writing during the time in which he was writing, and whose dīvāns are current in this age and are circulated as examples. As for those who have leapt from the net of this memoir and are here neither described nor indicated by casual mention, I make them over to those who shall hereafter set foot in the plain of existence, for this series (of poets) is as endless as the Burhān-i-Tatbīq, and to comprehend them all within the limits of one age, or one short space of time is beyond the limits (of any capacity) and beyond the extremity (of its powers).
