تحفة الاحرار / Tuhfat al-Ahrar (Gift to the Noble)

تحفة الاحرار (Tuhfat al-Ahrar, 'Gift to the Noble') is the third of the seven mathnavis that make up Jami's Haft Awrang. It is a didactic mathnavi composed in the meter and manner of Nizami's Makhzan al-Asrar, dedicated to the Naqshbandi Sufi master Khwaja Ubaydullah Ahrar. The work is arranged as a series of discourses (maqalat) on ethical and mystical themes, each rounded off by an illustrative tale, and framed by opening supplications and panegyrics addressed to God, the Prophet, the reigning sovereign, and Khwaja Ahrar. Section 14, the supplication for the prosperity of Khwaja Ubaydullah Ahrar, is one of these framing devotional sections and belongs to this individual work rather than attaching directly to the Haft Awrang collection as a whole.
