(1370 A.D.) Khan-i-Jahan the Vazir, died, and his son Juna Shah obtained that title, and the book Chandaban which is a Masnavi in the Hindi language relating the loves of Lurak and Chanda, a lover and his mistress, a very graphic work, was put into verse in his honour by Maulana Da'ud. There is no need for me to praise it because of its great fame in that country, and Makhdum Shaikh Taqi-u'd-Din Wa'iz Rabbani used to read some occasional poems of his from the pulpit, and the people used to be strangely influenced by hearing them, and when certain learned men of that time asked the Shaikh saying, what is the reason for this Hindi Masnavi being selected? he answered, the whole of it is divine truth and pleasing in subject, worthy of the ecstatic contemplation of devout lovers, and conformable to the interpretation of some of the Ayats of the Qur'an, and the sweet singers of Hindustan. Moreover by its public recitation human hearts are taken captive. In the year 773 H. (1371-72 A.D.) Zafar Khan died and the control of that province was confirmed to his son.
