PREFACE
HE present catalogue describes all Pashto manuscripts known to exist
in the libraries of the British Isles. As the first union catalogue of the
manuscripts in a single Asian language in the libraries of the British
Isles, it represents a new departure in library co-operation. An undertaking of
this sort would hardly be practicable for languages like Arabic, Persian, and
Sanskrit, in which very large numbers of manuscripts are preserved in many
libraries. Pashto manuscript collections are, however, so small, and confined
to so few libraries, that a complete catalogue has proved an entirely practical
project.
Of the 170 manuscript works described in the catalogue, sixty-nine are in
the British Museum, sixty in the India Office Library, sixteen in the John
Rylands Library, ten in the School of Oriental and African Studies, eight in
the University Library, Cambridge, five in the Bodleian Library, and two in
the Library of Trinity College, Dublin. One hundred and twenty-six of the
manuscripts have previously been catalogued or recorded, for the most part
by James Fuller Blumhardt, who described sixty-two in the Catalogue of the
Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Assamese, Oriya, Pushtu and Sindhi manuscripts in
the Library of the British Museum (London, 1905), and fifty-four in his cata-
logue of the Pashto manuscripts in the India Office Library (MSS. Eur.
D. 499), which has remained unpublished. Hermann Ethe (who had des-
cribed fourteen of the same India Office Library manuscripts for their Persian
content. in tk Catalogue oj the Persian manuscripts in the Library oj the India
Office, volume I [Oxford, 1903]), printed descriptions of four Pashto manu-
scripts in k Catalogue oj the Persian, Turkish, Hindustani and PushtU manii-

PREFACE

rewritten by Dr. D. N. MacKenzie in the light of the modern critical litera-
ture on Pashto studies. Wholly the work of Dr. MacKenzie are the remaining
forty-four descriptionsthose, namely, of seven additional manuscripts in
the British Museum, six in the India Office Library, two in the University
Library, Cambridge, and one in the Bodleian Library, as well as the collec-
tions of sixteen manuscripts in the John Rylands Library, ten in the School of
Oriental and African Studies, and two in the Library of Trinity College,
Dublin.
Our thanks are due to the Librarians and governing bodies of the School of
Oriental and African Studies, the University Library, Cambridge, the Bod-
leian Library, Oxford, the John Rylands Library, Manchester, and Trinity
College, Dublin, for their ready collaboration in this union cataloguing project
and for the facilities which they gave to Dr. MacKenzie.
We hope that the publication of the catalogue may stimulate other CO-
operative undertakings by which the manuscript resources of many libraries
in specialized branches of orientalist scholarship are surveyed within the
compass of a single publication.

Maxzan ul-IslAm
A compendium of the Muslim faith and religious observances, by AxUnd
Darweza.i
Darweza, son of Gada ibn gaix Sa'di, was born in the YUsufzai country
but, his ancestors having come from Nangrahar, he also called himself Nan-
grahari'. He became a disciple of Mir Saiyid 'Ali rawwa? TirmiZi ('Pir
Baba') and gained considerable renown among the Pathans, to whom he is
known as AxUn Baba. He died, at a great age, in A.H. 1048 (A.D. 1638-9)
and is buried at Peshawar.2 Of his sons the most famous was Mulla 'Abd
ul-Karim, better known as AxUnd Karimdad.J He died in A.H. 1072 (A.D.
1661-2) and was buried in Swat. He is also known as (gahid Baba, and there
appears to be a reference to his martyrdom in the final chapter of the present
manuscript.
The Maxzan ul-Islam was written with the special object of refuting the
heretical teaching of Bayazid An?ari, an Ormur of KapigUram in Waziristan.
Bayazid later took up his abode in Nangrahar, where he became the founder
of the RoSaniya sect, so-called from his styling himself Pir RoXan'.4

RELIGION

As originally composed by Darweza the work was divided into eight
sections, called BaySns, with Persian prefaces. The Pashto text is almost
entirely in rhymed prose. A considerable amount of additional matter has
been added to Daroeza's work, by his son Karimdad, and his grandson
Muhammad ('Abd ul-) Halim ibn 'Abd Ullah.i The arrangement of the
work in its present popular form was made by 'Abd ul-Karim (Karlmdad)
during the lifetime of his father.2 But, in the words of Dr. Leyden, 'the texture
of the work is of a very loose and unconnected nature so that the different
chapters, of which it consists, admit of easy transposition; a circumstance
which has given rise to great diversity of arrangement and variety of readings.
The Makhzan Afghani has long been popular among the Afghans, and chiefly
among those classes, who are by no means curious with respect to style and
arrangement. Hence, though the practice of writing is by no means common
or general among the Afghans, not even among those persons who are well
versed in the Arabic language, and skilled in the doctrines of Islam, yet such
diversity of readings has arisen in this work, that almost every copy differs
widely from another, and the omission, or transposition of the chapters,
seems to depend entirely on the pleasure of the transcriber.^ The standard
contents of the work are detailed below.
Bayan I. A paraphrase of the Bad ul-amali, an Arabic kasidah, containing
a compendium of the Muslim faith, by Siraj ul-Dln 'All ibn 'USman, al-U§I
al-Faryani.

The work thus begins with praise of gaix 'Ali TirmiZi, and of his disciple
AxUn (i.e. Darweza). Although, as Dorn remarks, (it appears for the most
part to be a free translation of some Persian work, it may also be said to be
modelled on Daiweza's Maxzan ul-Islam. In this and the following three
copies the work is in 80 chapters (bab); the editions published at Delhi and
Peshawar contain two extra chapters, inserted after ch. 66. Selections are
printed in the Gulshan and in Dorns Chrestomathy.
Ravertyz states that the Fawald ul-sarfat is a very valuable work, written
in the year A.H. 1125, A.D. 1713, by Akhund Kasim, who was the chief pre-
late and the head of all the Muhammadan ecclesiastics of Hahtnagar and
Peghawer, which places, in those days, rivalled Bo.ra itself in learning'.
Little is known of the author beyond his name.3 According to Rixtin4 he
was a Papinxel ginwArl. He evidently became a disciple of Darweza, and is
frequently called AxUnd of Swat.
On the first page of the present copy is an impression of the seal of one

As may be seen in the words pa jay di (at the end of line 6),' is written

of the SUrahs Fatiha and Ixla?. These are followed (foil. 35-113) by an account

Pir Mu'azzam gah, son of Pir Muhammad Fa?il, of the village of Pir
Sahbak in the Peshawar district, was in the service of the Rohilla chief Hafiz
Rahmat Xan (who died in A.H. ii88/a.d. 1774), for whom he offered to make
this abridgement of a draft Tarix- or TawArfx-i AfAyina written in Pashto
mixed with Persian'.! According to the PlrzAda's Persian preface, this draft
came from the library of a Xan Bahadur Xan, Daudzai, Torfa Xel, at Shah-
jahanpur. In another, all Persian abridgement, bearing the same title, by
Hafiz Muhammad gadlk (see Ethe, AO. Pers. Cat., no. 582), the original is
attributed to Xwaju.
The translation was completed on I Aluljarram A.H. 1181 (a.d. 1767), as
stated in the Pashto verses at the end. It was not approved, however, for a
number of reasons, one being that it was composed in the Xatak dialect and
not that of Peshawar. This we learn from IlAhyAr Xan, son of Hafiz Rahmat
Xan (see No. 61), who in A.H. 1229/A.D. 1814, after a fruitless search for the
original (which he attributes to gaix MlrdAd, hfutizai, Xahl), translated this
work into Persian under the title Xulasat ul-a'jdb (see Storey, Persian Litera-
ture, i. 396, and 1.0. Pers. Cat., vol. iii).
The work is divided into seven chapters (makmn), tile contents of which

brothers of the Af^an tribe of KheshkI [i.e. XweSgl]; ArzAnl, 'Umar and
All. They came into these parts from Hind, and there they had already
become tainted with heresy; and when in this part they met with Bayazid
Angar they became perfect infidels like himself. Arzani was an eloquent poet,
and a man of quick intellect; and he turned all the tenets of the new faith
into poetry, and the poems were inserted in Bayazld's book. '2

Mirza was, most probably,! the son of NUr ul-Dln, the second son of Baya-

and spiritual guide, commonly known as Pir RoXan, the founder of the
RoSanlya sect. The date of Mlrzas birth is not known, but he was killed in
the Deccan during one of Shahjahans campaigns there. One of his poems
(fol. 55) bears the date A.H. 1040 (a... 1630-1) and his disciple the poet
Daulat also gives this as the date of his death.3 In the Dabistan-i mazahib he
is said to have been killed at Daulatabad, but also to have lived in the reign
of Aurangzeb.4

Karlmdad assisted his father in the composition of the Maxzan ul-Isky
and has also translated into Pashto a treatise against heresy under the title
Fatawa-i Tuhfat ul-Xani. This was published at Delhi in 1885, with the first
Nukta of Bayan VII of the Maxzan (see p. 5, n. I). Another copy of his
Dlwan is listed among the manuscripts of the Press Department, Kabul
(v. s. de Beaurecueil, MJDEO, iii. 119, no. 27).

DJwAn-i Xushal XAn
The Dlwan, or Kulliyat, of Xushal Xan Xaak.
XuShal xan, chieftain of the Xaak tribe and national poet of the Afghans,
was born at Sray (Akora) in A.H. 1022 (A.D. 1613). He appears to have begun
writing poetry in his youth and to have continued until his death. He sue-
ceeded to the chieftaincy in A.H. 1050 (a.d. 1640-1) when his father, gahbaz.
Xan, succumbed to an arrow wound received in a battle with the Yusufeais.
XuShal served the Mogul emperor Shahjahan faithfully for many years,
but after the accession of Aurangzeb he fell into disfavour. In A.H. 1074.
(a.d. 1663-4) he was arrested and sent to Delhi. After two and a half years
of imprisonment in Delhi and Rantambhor Fort in Jaipur he was confined
in Agra, until his release in A.H. 1079 (a.d. 1668-9). The embittered poet
remained in Mogul service out of gratitude to those who had obtained
his release, but after a major Mogul defeat in the Khyber in A.H. 1083
(a.d. 1672-3) he resigned the chieftaincy to his eldest son, ASraf Xan. Later,
following the jealous intrigues of his third son, Bahrain, he was forced into
open warfare against the Mogul forces, in alliance with the Afridis. Finally,
driven from his home by Bahram, he took refuge among the Hasan Xel
Or possibly, A.H. 1121 (A.D. 1709).


POETRY

ing to ASraf (see No. 79), on the evening of Friday 28 Rabl' II A.H. IIOO
.(18 February A.D. 1689).
Beside the Diwan, XuShal is credited with the authorship of scores of
works, of which only a few have survived. Among these there are a number of
translations of religious and didactic works and various masnam compositions
with the titles BaznSma, Fa?lnama (see No. 115), Swat-nama, Dastarnama,
Farruxnama, Firaknama. He was also the inventor of a system of shorthand
called zanjlrai chain-script.
The Diwan has been published at Peshawar in 1869, under the super-
vision of Dr. w. Bellew, at Kandahar in 1938, by 'Abd ul-Haiy Hablbl, and at
Peshawar again in 1952, edited by Dost Muhammad Xan Kamil, from whose
Introduction the above account of the poets life is abridged. A selection of
XuShalS poems, with English translations, was published by c. E. Biddulph,!
and another, with Urdu translations, by Dr. Saiyid Anwar ul-Hkk.2 Further
short selections may also be found in the Gulshan and the Kalid.
In the present copy the poems are divided into four parts, as in Dr. Bellews
edition.

ASraf xan, the eldest son of XuShal Xan Xatak, was born in Rama?an
A.H. 1044 (A.D. 1635). He succeeded his father in the chieftaincy of the Xafak
tribe in A.H. 1083 (A.D. 1672-3). In A.H. 1092 (A.D. 1681) his brother Bahram
betrayed him into the hands of the Mogul emperor Aurangzeb, who im-
prisoned him at Gwalior and Bijapur, in the Deccan. There he died in A.H.
1105 (A.D. 1693-4). Most of his poems were written during his imprisonment
and from this separation (hijrari) from his homeland he took his taxallus.
'Mr. Hughes states in a note appended to this volume that this copy of
Ashraf Ran's poems was made, under his superintendence, from an original
manuscript in possession of Afzal Khan of Jamalghari in the Peshawar
district, a direct descendant of the author.'!
The poems, including a few in Persian, are arranged alphabetically, fol-
lowed by a few muxammas, rubais, and five tarix poems on the death of
XuShal Xan, four of them in Persian. A selection from the Dlwan has been
published in the Gulshan.

'Abd ul-Kadir, younger brother of ASraf Xan Hijri, was born in A.H. 1061-2
(see No. 117). On the imprisonment ofASrafhe aspired to the chieftaincy of
the Xatak tribe, but was passed over in favour of ASrafs son, Af?al, and
thereafter doubtless lived in straitened circumstances. However, Raverty's
assertion that he was done to death by his nephew on his accession does not
bear examination (see No. 159).
His poems are full of Sufi mysticism. He is also the author of translations
of Jamls YUsuf ZulaixS (Nos. 117-26) and Sa'dis Gulistan (Nos. 159-61).
'Mr. Hughes has appended a note to the present copy, dated Nov. 21,1884,

'
Mulla 'Abd ul-RahmAn, commonly known as Rahman Baba, a Sufi and
poet, flourished in the 17th century, during the reign of the emperor Aurang-
zeb. The Rev. T. p. Hughes has supplied some notes on the poet in his
copy of the Diwan [No. 89], in which he says that 'Abd al-Rahman belonged
to the Ibrahim Reyl of the Momunds. He was a native of the village of
Bahadur Kilai, [situated about four miles from Peshawar on the Kohat
road] but resided for some time at Hazarkhani, and is buried there.'3
Rahman's dates are uncertain, but in one poem (foil. 98-101), apparently
written when he was over 55 years old, he refers to the death of Aurangzeb
(a.h. iii8/a.d. 1707) and the accession of his son Sah 'Alam, later Bahadur
Sah (a.h. 1119). Rahman was therefore probably born c. A.H. 1060 (a... 1650)

Kazim Xan was the son of Af?al Xan (see No. 157) and great-grandson of
XuShal Xan Xatak, a HanafI by sect, and of the NakSbandl order. According
to Raverty, he was born sometime during the five years subsequent to A.H.
1135 (A.D. 1722)'. On the death of Af?al his eldest son, Asad Ullah Xan,
succeeded him in the chieftaincy. Kazim Xan, being mistrustful of his
brothers intentions, and fearing a design on his life, fled from his home, 'and
spent several years in Kashmir, where he acquired considerable learning. He
subsequently lived a long time at Sirhind, in upper India, but aftewards
proceeded to the Afghan principality of RampUr in that country, where he
took up his residence; and there he passed the greater part of his life.'2
The poems are preceded by the author's preface, in which he states
that they were revised and arranged in their present form in A.H. 1181

A large number of additional yazals and corrections are written in the
margins. On fol. 2a there is a note, in Persian, instructing any fliture copyist
to take account of these marginalia. This then appears to be the original

DIwAn-i KAmgAr Xan \
The poems of Kamgar Xan, son of Namdar Xan, Xaak

POETRY
84
The poems consist of a Diwan of yazals in alphabetical arrangement,
including a few in Persian written in Nasta'lik, followed by muxammas poems
and rubais.
Namdar Xan appears to have been a younger contemporary of Af?al Xan
and presumably another grandson of XuShal Xan (see No. 104). From the
last verse in this copy it appears that his son Kamgar died at a comparatively
e'arly age, in A.H. 1165 (a.d. 1751-2), as he predeceased his father by three
years.
Mr. Hughes has appended the following note, dated 21 November, 1884:
This work was copied from the original of Kamgar now in the possession of
Afzal Khan Khatak of Jamalghari in the Peshawar District, under the super-
intendence of the Rev. T. p. Hughes of Peshawar. The existence of this poem
was unknown until Mr. Hughes discovered it among some old volumes in
Afzal Khan's possession.

Kasim 'All Xan was the son of Burhan Xan, an Adam Xel AfrldJ living in
Farrukhabad, where the poet was born. His father died in A.H. 1192 when he
was nine years old. He was therefore born in A.H. 1182-3 (A.D. 1768-70).
Saiyid Kalam al-DJn, one of his immediate followers, the scribe of the
following cop}, [No. 108] of this Dlwan, has stated in his colophon that Kasim
'All Kan has also written several Dlwans in Persian and Hindi (i.e. Hindu-
stani), and had some acquaintance with English, Kashmiri, and Turki. The
author states in the Katimah (fol. 33) that his verses were collected and
arranged with the help of Hafiz .dam Muhammad, in the year A.H. 1206
(A.D. 1792).'2

PREFACETHEpresent catalogue describes all Pashto manuscripts known toexist inthe libraries of the British Isles.As the first union catalogue ofthemanuscripts inasingleAsian language in the libraries of the British Isles,it represents anew departure in library co-operation. An undertaking of this sort would hardly be practicable for languages likeArabic, Persian, and Sanskrit, in which verylarge numbers of manuscripts are preserved in many libraries. Pashto manuscript collections are,however,sosmall,and confined tosofew libraries,thata complete catalogue has proved an entirely practical project. Of the170manuscript works described inthecatalogue, sixty-nine areintheBritish Museum, sixtyintheIndia Office Library, sixteen intheJohnRylands Library,tenintheSchoolof Oriental and AfricanStudies, eight in the University Library, Cambridge, fiveintheBodleian Library, and twointheLibrary ofTrinityCollege, Dublin. Onehundredand twenty-six ofthemanuscripts have previously been catalogued or recorded, forthemostpartby James Fuller Blumhardt, who described sixty-two intheCatalogueofthe Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali,Assamese,Oriya, Pushtu and Sindhi manuscriptsin the Libraryofthe British Museum(London,1905),and fifty-four inhiscata logueof the Pashto manuscripts in theIndiaOffice Library (MSS.Eur.D.499),which has remained unpublished.HermannEthe(who had des cribed fourteen of the same India Office Library manuscripts for their Persian content in theCatalogueofthePersianmanuscriptsin,the Libraryofthe India Office,volume I[Oxford,1903]),printed descriptions offour Pashtomanuscripts in theCatalogueofthePersian,Turkish, Hindtistdni andPushiilmanu scriptsintheBodleian Library: Part 11(Oxford,1930);and E.G.
