1. He was very fond of guns and of hunting with the gun.
He named one of his guns yaka u janaza, 'the same as the bier,' and himself composed this couplet and had it engraved on the gun :-
"From the joy of the chase with thee, life is fresh and new;
To everyone whom thy dart strikes, 'tis the same as his bier."
2. Daniyal was of pleasing figure, of exceedingly agreeable manners and appearance.

5. Daniyal was almost as fond of good eating as he was of drink.
