Haft Wâdî.

Another very defective copy of Farîd-aldîn ‘Aṭṭâr’s Haft Wâdî (see above, No. 1031, 6), beginning: حمد پاك از جان پاك آن پاكرا الخ. It is in a hopeless confusion, all the verses being mixed together; it is moreover incomplete at the end, and has two lacunas after ff. 2 and 4. The last bait on fol. 2b corresponds to fol. 147a, l. 11, in No. 559 (1031 in this Cat.), the first bait on fol. 3a to fol. 149b, l. 8, in the same copy.

The last bait on fol. 4b corresponds to fol. 150a, l. 11, the first on fol. 5a to fol. 148b, l.7, in No. 559. Fol. 5b, l. 10, is= fol. 148b, l. 19; fol. 6b, l. 3 ab infra= fol. 147a, l. 18, and the last bait on fol. 10b=fol. 149a, l. 17, in the same copy. The last leaf (fol. 11) contains three ghazals with the takhalluṣ ‘Alî.

No. 1921, ff. 11, 2 coll., each ll. 19; clear and distinct Nasta’lîḳ; size, 10¼ in. by 6 in.
