Version 1 of Siraj al-Tawarikh

The Siraj al-Tawarikh is a history of Afghanistan written in Persian by Faiz Muhammad Katib Hazara, and published in Kabul from 1913 to 1915.¹

Its detailed account is a principal source on Abdur Rahman Khan's campaigns against the Hazaras, and modern legal and historical studies rely on it.²

Robert McChesney and Mehdi Khorrami completed the first English translation in 2012.¹
