Does anyone know where I could find the Tārīkh-i Dilīr Jangī by Muhammad Azimuddin?

I'm interested in the historical genealogy of the Miyana Pashtuns within the Savanur and Bijapur sultanates. I am researching both the main ruling family and their specific tribal subdivisions that may have been present there at the time. Historically, these groups were composed of various sub-clans operating under a broader tribal identity. Hence, a sub-group for these Miyana Afghans might look like Ahmed Khan 'LUNI' Miyana or Ahmed Khan 'GHARSHEEN' Miyana and so on. Confirming which subgroups existed in India between the 17th and 18th centuries could help provide a lot of context to the migrations and of remnants of these Miyana Afghans present in Suleiman Mountain Ranges today. I'm hoping that since this book Tārīkh-i Dilīr Jangī is specifically meant to be a biographical work, it will contain the details I'm after. Unfortunately, sub tribes collapsed under Miyana or Afghan during the Mughal administration, and looking through compilations such as Selected documents under Aurangzeb's reign have not been helpful, since it only mentions Deccani, Afghan or Miyana and omit a lot of detail. Such detail being lost might also just be a byproduct of Mughal administration as recording tribal divisions wasn't really useful for the most part. Other collections such that contain summaries of documents such as "Catalogue of Documents under Aurangzebs Reign" arent available online and the Andhra Pradesh state archives only contain manuscripts up until the 5th year of Aurangzeb's reign which isn't very helpful. I would be VERY grateful if someone could help me find a copy of Tārīkh-i Dilīr Jangī or just help me narrow down my search in general.
