The Poems of Mirza Khan, Ansari

"Mirza Khan, Ansari, was a descendant, probably a grandson, of Par Ros'han, the founder of the Ros'hanaen sect, which made a great noise among the Afghans, about the year 1542-3 of our Era. He appears to have commenced writing poetry in the year A. H. 1040; and these effusions were afterwards brought together in the form of a Diwvn or Collection of Odes, bearing his name. Some parties contend that his real name was Fati Khan, and that he was of the Yusufzi tribe of the Afghans, and that the term Mirza is an assumed name, usually taken by Oriental poets. Moazi, however, is a Persian word, signifying a prince or a nobleman, and also a secretary or writer, and would never be assumed by an Afghan, it being a distinctive appellation applied to persons of Persian descent, by the Afghans."
