Title: Masnawiyyāt-i-Mīr, ba-khatt-i-Mīr
Description: "This Manuscript is unique. There was no vestige of any extant hand-writing of Mir, the greatest Urdu ghazal writer, to whom the leading Urdu poets have paid their homage. That the four *Mansavis* are in the original hand-writing of Mir is proved by the internal evidence furnished by the colophone, the texture and condition of the paper, the ink used and the style of penmanship. It has been acclaimed so by competent scholars and critics of art. The manuscript contains a new Masnavi of Mir, entitled the Jang Namah, describing the battle of Rohillas and Nawab Asafuddaulah of Lucknow. There is also a genuine four-coloured portrait of Mir.
This epoch-making book is published with a Foreword of Moulana Abul Kalam Azad, by the eminent scholar and foremost critic of Urdu Dr. Ram Babu Saksena, Member Sahitya Akademi India (National Academy of Letters); P.E.N. (England and India); Hindustani Academy; Author of *A History of Urdu Literature*; *Tārīkh Adab-i-Urdu*; *European and Indo-European Poets of Urdu and Persian*; *Album of Urdu Poets* and other works.
