68), a pretty but undated MS., which, with three others, I bought of J. J. Naaman
for £15 on May 22, 1901. Concerning Hilálí of Astarábád, who was put to death
by the Uzbeks in 935/1528-9, see my Persian Literature in Modern Times,

گفتی که چو می خورم ترا یاد کنم
ترسم که شوی مست و فراموش کنی
In the Diwán of Riyádí contained in this MS. the ghazal which comes first in
the British Museum MS. comes second, the first beginning : گر طبیب آید که گیرد نبض جانان مرامن همی میرم که می گیرد رگِ جان مرا
The MS. comprises 68 ff. of 12 x 11 C. and 13 ll.; ff. 1, 2, 36-40 and 68 are
