Abstract

Ameer Ahmed Minai was an illustrious poet and a writer. He wrote poetry in almost every genre including ghaẓal, na‘at, qaṣīda, maṡnavī, rubā‘ī, salām, sehrā, keh mukarni, pahēlī, tarkīb band, and tarjī‘band. The qaṣīda under consideration is in the tarjī‘band form. In a tarjī‘band, a specific line (called the tape-line) is repeated at the end of each stanza. This qaṣīda was written in the praise of Nawab of Rampur. It gives insights about the Nawab’s era. This qaṣīda consists of 16 stanzas and each stanza comprises 12 lines, after which, a couplet is repeated. This qaṣīda has not been published yet and is in possession of his paternal grandson Israeel Ahmed Minai. The author of this article has not only edited the qaṣīda following conventions of textual criticism but has provided a detailed introduction as well. A comprehensive glossary has also been included.
