Official chronicle of Humāyūn Pādshāh by his ewer-bearer, by order of Akbar Pādshāh

According to Storey, "one would be disposed to regard this MS. as representing Jauhar's original draft, rather than a recension."

Although the colophon dates the volume to the mid seventeenth century, this is likely to be a later copy (circa early eighteenth century) with the original colophon reproduced verbatim
