Note 1828 — SECTION III. HINDŪSTĀN
Annette Susannah Beveridge translation
The variants, entered in parenthesis, are found in the Bib. Ind. ed. of the Āyīn-i-akbarī p. 75 and in a (bazar) copy of the Qurānu’s-sā‘dain in my husband’s possession. As Amīr Khusrau was a poet of Hindūstān, either khẉash (khẉesh) [our own] or mā [our] would suit his meaning. The couplet is, literally:—
Our fairling, [i.e. mango] beauty-maker of the garden, Fairest fruit of Hindūstān.
