Mirzā Niʿmat Khān ‘Ālī Shīrāzī was a prominent poet and writer of the Indian style during the Mughal period, active in the latter half of the 11th and the early decades of the 12th century AH (17th–18th century CE). Despite his literary significance, the absence of a critically edited version of his Dīvān has left his poetry largely unexplored in contemporary scholarship. This study aims to provide a codicological overview of his work by introducing and analyzing ten extant manuscripts of his poetry. These manuscripts, housed in libraries across India, Iran, the UK, Tajikistan, and Pakistan, encompass a wide range of poetic forms including ghazals, qasidas, quatrains, chronograms, satires and witticisms, riddles, and enigmata. The analysis focuses on various aspects such as physical features, dates of transcription, textual comprehensiveness, legibility, orthographic accuracy, and intertextual relationships among the manuscripts. The findings identify the manuscript preserved at the Khuda Bakhsh Library in Patna—dated 1110 AH and transcribed during the poet’s lifetime—as the most authoritative extant version, due to its completeness, orthographic precision, appropriate script, clear beginning and ending, and an identified scribe. Nevertheless, some alternative manuscripts offer more accurate or complete readings in certain cases, which are valuable for textual evaluation and comparative analysis. This research lays the groundwork for the recovery and scholarly engagement with this neglected corpus of Persian poetry.
