A couplet from Jami’s Tuhfat al-Ahrar, from the Haft Awrang: chu jabhat az nur matla‘ nivisht, abruyat az mushk du misra‘ nivisht, ‘When your forehead wrote an initial couplet (matla’) of light, Your eyebrow wrote two hemistiches in musk.’
Mir ‘Ali is often mentioned by Safavid sources as amongst the most important nasta’liq calligraphers of his time, despite never being in the service of the Safavid court. Born in Herat circa 1476, in 1528 he was deported to Bukhara where he remained until his death around 1556. The Safavid prince Ibrahim Mirza greatly admired his work and had a large collection of his calligraphy. Sayyid Ahmad wrote of him in AH 972/1564-65 AD, that he was the equal of Sultan ‘Ali Mashhadi, the calligrapher of lot 1, under whom he studied.
