Summary of Contents: قصه حیدر و دختر قاضی کشمیر The following note by Professor Browne is written on the fly-leaf: "From the Library of the late Sir Albert Houtum-Schindler. Bought from his heirs, Jan. 5th, 1917. A Persian poem on the adventures of one Haydar, supposed to have lived in the time of Sháh 'Abbás the Great (16th-17th century), and the daughter of the Qádí of Kashmir. The author's name does not appear, nor the title of the poem, which shows little skill in verse and is probably quite modern. It is also incomplete at the end." Begins: الا ای طوطی نطق شکرخای بزندان قفس تا کی کنی جای
