The Nosakh-e jahan-ara was a prominent book, as indicated by the numerous surviving copies. It was reported to have been translated into Ottoman Turkish.[5] The work is structured, drawing inspiration from the Habib al-siyar, and instead of artistic or poetic details, it prioritizes military events.[6]
