A Dakani poem relating to the story of Shahji and Mahji, by Hasan Manjhu Khalji who wrote under the pen-name of Hans and either completed or commenced the composition of this poem in 1009 AH, i.e., 1600-1601 AD. The poem is particularly significant for the author's detailed and recurring exposition of various Sufi themes and aspects of Hindu mysticism, as well as for the information it provides on the personality and times of King Ibrahim Adil Shah II (reigned 1580-1627) and the sociocultural conditions in his capital city of Bijapur. The manuscript contains 34 miniature paintings.
