Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Bagh O Bahar: Or the Garden and the Spring; Being the Adventures of King Azad Bakht and the Four Darweshes; Literally Translated From the Urdü of Mïr Amman, of Dihlï With Copious Explanatory Notes, and an Introductory Preface Of him we shall speak anon; but first as to his translator. Mir Amman has given us in his preface to the "Bagh o Bahar," a brief narrative of himself, from which we learn that his family resided for some centuries at Delhi, where they held a Jagir, or grant of land in free tenure, under the Mughal emperors, and were subsequently involved in the ruin of the house of Timur. Their Jagir was seized by Suraj Mai, the founder of the principality of Bhartpur, and their houses plundered by Ahmad Shah, King of Kabul, when he invaded India. Mir Amman himself, after various vicissitudes, arrived in Calcutta, a destitute wanderer, where his good fortune introduced him, a.d. 1801, to Dr. Gilchrist, Professor of Urdu, in the College of Fort William. The Urdu language was just then beginning to be studied by Europeans, and it was desirable to supply the want of original works in that dialect, by translations from other languages. Mir Amman was commissioned to translate the amusing romance of "The Four Darweshes," a duty which he performed with remarkable elegance and success, and in a style very superior to a former version made by Ata Husain Khan, entitled "Nau tarz-i murassa," "The New Gold-embroidered Fashion," which was too thickly inlaid with Arabic and Persian. It must, however, be remembered that, in a language till then almost unwritten, the grammatical canons were not likely to be fixed with that rigour which the iron hand of centuries imposes.
