<p class="C1">&#65279'&#256LIM, a Muslim poet, enjoyed the patronage of Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh. Formerly in the employ of Prince Mu'azzam (later Emperor Bah&#257dur Sh&#257h), he probably came to Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh sometime during the period 1687-94 when the prince, having fallen from the favour of his father, Aura&#7749gz&#299b, was under internment. Only a single stanza of '&#256lam in Hindi, in Gurmukh&#299 script, survives in which he celebrates the bounty of his master, Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh.</p>
