Exalted son, Fázil Khán*, your spiritual leader, died. I am sorry (for his death). He was confidential (or learned), careful about his business, and of a good disposition. He kept finance officers under his charge carefully and cautiously. He illumined the house of this humble creature (i. e., Aurungzebe himself) with his stewardship. You should not also doubt the good nature of Vazier Khán Háji Muhammad*. Though Saiyad Muhammad Khán and Mir Nayáz are not bad, yet they are strict officers. When most of the officers under you are my servants, just now I want Kábil Khán and I require him from you. You should appoint Muhammad Mūhasan to the office held by Kábil Khán. In my court there is dearth of good men (i.e., are very few)*. Till his arrival here Ináyat Alláh Khán* will act for him, though he has much work. Háfizeh Mariam* claims a better right. Her son (i. e., Ináyat Alláh Khán) is known to me by his ability; but he is harsh towards his relatives. Directly and indirectly I often tell you by way of advice, “Ragūnáth Sa’ad Alláh Khán* did not assign financial posts to his own brothers and used to say, ‘Those very brothers are (like) officers who bring ruin to the houses (of their masters). May God guide or kill them’.”
