A collection of short stories of a mystical and didactic character, written in verse in the mas̲navī form by the same Ni'mat Khān-i 'Alī. Also known as Mīrzā Nūr al-Dīn Muḥammad, the poet was descended from a Persian family of physicians in Dehli. He was Comptroller of the Royal Kitchen, and received the title of Ni'mat Khān from the same Emperor 'Alamgīr and near the end of the reign, on account of his constant attendance upon that monarch, he received the title of "Muqarrab Khān". Ni'mat Khān wrote several works, both in prose and verse. As a poet he signed himself " 'Alī," and his compositions exhibit rare wit and satire. He died in 1121 A.H. (1710 C.E.). This work is written in the same hand as OR MS 82.
