Notes:

"Bīdel's autobiography, Čahār ʻonṣor (The four elements), was written between 1680 and 1694 in rhymed prose (sajʻ) interspersed with ḡazals, robāʻīyāt, mat̲nawīs, and qeṭʻas (occasional poems). It has four chapters, corresponding to the four elements, air, water, fire, and earth. The biographical data include accounts of Bīdel's early childhood, notes and reminiscences about his religious experiences, accounts of his travels, as well as mystical and philosophical expositions on such topics as the nature of the soul, the significance of dreams, and the benefits of speech and silence. It is one of the most difficult books in the whole corpus of Indo-Muslim literature"--Encyclopædia Iranica.
