Tazkira-e-Dur Fishaan: An Account of Poets who composed Chronograms (7th episode of 2nd Volume)
Keywords
Chronogram, Poet, Researcher, Prosody, Arabic
Abstract

The art of chronogram is very delicate and demands mastery over prosody as well as the command over the art of reckoning specific numbers from the numerical values of letters assigned to Arabic alphabet. A large number of poets have composed chronograms to record the historical events as well as the events taking place in course of everyday life. Some of such chronograms are indeed marvelous and this article, recording such chronograms and introducing their creators, is a part of the book by Syed Muhammad Khursheed Ali Mehr Taqvi Jaipuri (1904-1966), which is hitherto unpublished.
