Abstract

Arsalān Mašhadī (d. 995 AH./1587 C.E.) is a 10th-centuryA.H./ 16th-century C.E. poet who was born and bred in the city of Mashad in the province of Khorasan but spent most of his adult life in India at the court of Emperor Akbar. He specialized in composing mādde-ye tārīk.(chronograms) in which the date of some important event is embedded in a line of poetry and can be deciphered with the help of the Abjad numerical alphabet.Only a single manuscript of Arsalan's poems is known to exist, and it is in the old Majlis library in Tehran. The author has had a chance to examine this MS and gives a sampling of Arsalān's poems, which remain unpublished in their totality. The MS, illuminated and bound in leather, contains 48 folios of fine hand-made paper of Samarqand and 12 lines of poetry have been calligrapher on each page. The author suspects that the MS has been copied by the poet himself, who is also known to have been a first-class calligrapher.The author concludes his paper by appending all the chronograms that are found in the poet's divan. These are mostly about births of princes, victories in the battle-field and deaths of personages, such as the death of Mohammad Beyrām Khan, the grand vizier of Akbar in 968 A.H./1560-61 CE.
