When we were leaving the raft the governor of Nīngnahār Qayyām Aūrdū Shāh came and did obeisance. Langar Khān \_Nīā-zāī\_,—he had \[Sidenote: Fol. 249b.\] been in Nīl-āb for a time,—waited upon me on the road. We dismounted in the Bāgh-i-wafā; its oranges had yellowed beautifully; its spring-bloom was well-advanced, and it was very charming. We stayed in it five or six days. As it was my wish and inclination (\_jū dagh-dagha\_)to return to obedience (\_tā'ib\_) in my 40th year, I was drinking to excess now that less than a year was left. (\_Jan. 7th\_) On Sunday the 16th, having made my morning (\_ṣubūḥī\_) and became sober. Mullā Yārak played an air he had composed in five-time and in the five-line measure (\_makhammas\_), while I chose to eat a confection (\_ma'jūn\_). He had composed an excellent air. I had not occupied myself with such things for some time; a wish to compose came over me now, so I composed an air in four-time, as will be mentioned in time.\[1533\] - [Previous: 926.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.926.1.2) - [Next: 926.1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.926.1.4) - [Up: 926.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.926.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.926.1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.926.1.3) · Pramāṇa
