Yakrang

The book says Yakrang was one of the officers of the Emperor Muhammad Shah (r. 1719–48), who lived in dignity and honour at Delhi. It gives no dates for him.

The one piece given here is drawn from Hindustani Lyrics (London: The Sufi Publishing Society, 1919), in the English verse of Inayat Khan and Jessie Duncan Westbrook. It is a free rendering, not a literal translation, and the original Urdu poem is untitled; it is named here by its first line.
