The Legacy section says that Bairam Khan was a perfect master of the sword and the pen. This seem to be a little extreme, and POV. Even if it had some support from citations to reliable sources, it does seem to be a matter of opinion, requiring text in the form like Changara holds that .... --Bejnar (talk) 20:13, 6 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Bairam Khan's accomplishments have been recognized both in Afghanistan and India. He was a perfect master of the sword and the pen. His liberal patronage attracted men of letters and masters of fine arts.
Bairam Khan has left a small divanofChagatay, Persian and Turkish verses. The Persian section contains 618 verses, the Turkish 357 verses. However, an earlier copy of his divan preserved in the library of his son Mirza Abdul Rahim Khan-i-Khana consisted of about 2,000 couplets. Bairam Khan, a Shiite, praises the Imams Ali ibn Abu Talib and Ali al-Ridha in his Persian poetry. He also wrote panegyrics glorifying the emperors Humayun and Akbar.
His son Abdul Rahim Khan-I-Khana translated the Baburnama from Chagatay into Persian.
@Kayla994: Hi and thanks for the sources. They are however problematic. Cunningham is from 1882 and is far too dated. You can see the kind of problems that come from such dated sources if you look at the article which states that Bairam Khan married Hasan Khan's daughter. This is supported by a citation from 1878. Your second reference is a primary source and is not ideal. Please replace both with newer and reliable secondary sources.
