48. H. E. This quatrain which Ethe found in an anonymous and 

 undated collection of rab&Myat of ancient and modern poets (the most 

 modern quoted is Maulana Sahabi-i-Astarabadi who died in 1601 a.d.) in 

 the India Office Library is attributed by the Majnlis-ul-Ushahnq (com- 

 posed in 1602 a.ik) to Hakim-i-Sanai. But see the note to the trans- 

 lation. 



49. H. E. This quatrain has been taken by Ethe from the same 

 collection as No. 48, the India Office MS. (I.O. 1265). It is also found in 

 the Majalis-ul-Ushshnq where it is described as one of *< Some strange 



juatrains expressing the extremity of devotion" contained in the Imami 

 Ohazali's " Saw mil tl-Ushshaq." Ghazali died in 1111 a.d. 



60. H. 



61. H. T. This is not a correct quatrain. The first misra does not 

 rhyme with the 2nd and 4th ; and it is not in any of the ruba'i metres. 



52. L. T.
