903.3.2

The following chronogram gives the date of Aūlūgh Beg Mīrzā's death:— Aūlūgh Beg, an ocean of wisdom and science, The pillar of realm and religion, Sipped from the hand of `Abbās, the mead of martyrdom, And the date of the death is _`Abbās kasht_ (`Abbās slew).[409] Though `Abdu'l-laṯīf Mīrzā did not rule more than five or six months, the following couplet was current about him:— Ill does sovereignty befit the parricide; Should he rule, be it for no more than six months.[410] This chronogram of the death of `Abdu'l-laṯīf Mīrzā is also well done:— `Abdu'l-laṯīf, in glory a Khusrau and Jamshīd, [Sidenote: Fol. 50b.] In his train a Farīdūn and Zardusht, Bābā Ḥusain slew on the Friday Eve, With an arrow. Write as its date, _Bābā Ḥusain kasht_ (Bābā Ḥusain slew).[411]
