ship.¹ Ḥasan Niẓāmī in speaking of the appointment of a governor says that ‘a famous and exalted servant was chosen so that he might look after the soldiers, servants, warriors and clerks and save them from the treachery of the unbelievers, and the designs of the polytheists ;...he should take pains to fulfil the expectations of the people ; he should exercise the greatest circumspection in military and revenue matters ; and he should maintain the traditions of benevolence and charity so as to leave a name for eternity ’.²
