The Tuzuk-i-Jahangiri, Volume 2 of 2

Note 71 — The Thirteenth New Year’s Feast

Alexander Rogers translation

Text wrongly has Mag͟hribī, who was a much later poet, for he died in 809 A.H. = 1416. Sult̤ān Sanjar belonged to the sixth century of the Hijra, and Muʿizzī, who is the poet meant by Jahāngīr, died in 542 A.H. (1147–48), having been accidentally killed with an arrow by Sult̤ān Sanjar. See Rieu, II. 552b. The ode quoted by Jahāngīr is to be found at p. 138b of British Museum MS. Add. 10588. ↑
