The Sufi Mulla Ismâíl Isfahaní, seeking enjoyment, came from Iran to the great towns of India, and in Lahore visited the lord Mián Mír; he chose the condition of a Durvish, and from Lahore soon betook himself to Kashmir, where he abandoned the worldly affairs, and practised pious austerity. The author of this book saw him in Kashmir, in the year of the Hejira 1049 (A. D. 1639).

He assumed the surname of _Tarsa_, “timid, or unbeliever;” he called the Journal of his travels, _Dair-namah_, “Journal of a tavern (also monastery).” In this Journal are the following lines:
