83.2
From the time of Sikandar down to the time of Sháh Sultán Muhammad, nobody had attacked Badakhshán. Thus they had ruled from generation to generation. When the kingdom passed into the hands of Sháh Sultán Muhammad Badakhshi, he discarded the "Dastur ul amal" of Sikandar. He was a prince of great natural gifts and refined taste, and he left a "Diván" which is exceedingly beautiful. His "takhallus," or poetical name, was Lali. His elegance and clearness of style were so great that he altered [the wording of] the "Dastur ul amal" to suit his own taste.
