poet, Maulana Qambari of Nishapir, addresses his patron 
Sultan Abu’l Qasim Babar as Babar. I am therefore of opinion 
that the name need not be altered to Babur, as Mrs. Beveridge 
is doing throughout her translation of Babar’s Turkish Memoirs. 
The name can be spelt and pronounced either Babar or Babur.
