Beveridge) 911.8.2 - **Language:** English ### [911.8.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.911.8.2) Mīr \`Abdu'l-ghafūr of Lār was another. Disciple and pupil both of Maulānā \`Abdu'r-raḥmān \_Jāmī\_, he had read aloud most of the Mullā's poems (\_mas̤nawī\_) in his presence, and wrote a plain exposition of the \_Nafaḥāt\_.\[1131\] He had good acquaintance with the exoteric sciences, and in the esoteric ones also was very successful. He was a curiously casual and unceremonious person; no person styled Mullā by any-one soever was debarred from submitting a (Qorān) chapter to him for exposition; moreover whatever the place in which he heard there was a darwīsh, he had no rest till he had reached that darwīsh's presence. He was ill when I was in Khurāsān (912 AH.); I went to enquire for him where he lay in the Mullā's College,\[1132\] after I had made the circuit of the Mullā's tomb. He died a few days later, of that same illness. Mīr \`Atā'u'l-lāh of Mashhad was another.\[1133\] He knew the Arabian sciences well and also wrote a Persian treatise on rhyme. That treatise is well-done but it has the defect that he brings into it, as his examples, couplets of his own and, assuming them \[Sidenote: Fol. 179.\] to be correct, prefixes to each, "As must be observed in the following couplet by your slave" (\_banda\_). Several rivals of his find deserved comment in this treatise. He wrote another on the curiosities of verse, entitled \_Badāi\`u's-sanāi\_; a very well-written treatise. He may have swerved from the Faith. - [Previous: 911.8.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.911.8.1) - [Next: 911.8.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.911.8.3) - [Up: 911.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.911.8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.911.8.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.911.8.2) · Pramāṇa
