To this end I began to versify the tract, using the metre\[2328\] of Maulānā 'Abdu´r-raḥīm \_Jāmī's Subḥatu'l-abrār\_ (Rosary of the Righteous). Thirteen couplets were made in that same night. I tasked myself not to make fewer than 10 a day; in the end one day had been omitted. While last year every time such illness had happened, it had persisted at least a month or 40 days,\[2329\] this year, by God's grace and his Reverence's favour, I was free, except for a little depression (\_afsurda\_), on Thursday the 29th of the month (\_Nov. 12th\_). The end of versifying the contents of the tract was reached on Saturday the 8th of the first Rabī' (\_Nov. 20th\_). One day 52 couplets had been made.\[2330\] (\_t. Troops warned for service.\_) (\_Nov. 11th\_) On Wednesday the 28th of the month royal orders were sent on all sides for the armies, saying, "God bringing it about, at an early opportunity my army will be got to horse. Let all come soon, equipped for service." (\_Here the record of 9 days is wanting.\_)\[2331\] (\_u.
