ABSTRACT
II Since I had been a happy retainer at the august stirrup of the valiant and f. la courageous Abu-l-Fath Mulla 'Ali-quli Amir-i lashkar from the sunrise of his happiness down to the setting of the moon of his life and prosperity, my genuine affection [for him] and convictions demand that the circumstances [of his life] and information [about him] from his youth till his death as a martyr for the faith should be threaded together in a written record.
