Existence was checked by filename fragments under all spellings (jigar, moradabadi, sikandar), by Arabic label, by biography and by the QID route across data/person/ — no earlier record exists. No Arabic Wikipedia article exists for him (the arz article is Egyptian dialect and is not used); the Arabic prose is written from the English and Urdu sources and says so. No relations are written: the poet Asghar Gondvi, his friend at Gonda in the English text, has no record in the museum yet, and Majrooh Sultanpuri's studentship would be written in the student's own record in any case.",
