The adventures of M. Sulaimān are as follows: When he made his rapid march against M. Hakīm he left Muḥammad Qulī Shighālī with a large force to besiege Kabul. Ma'ṣūm Khān sent out of the fort a number of cavaliers of the hippodrome of valour to display their daring. They engaged Muḥammad Qulī and defeated him, and seized the baggage of the Badakhshīs. The besiegers were scattered, and Muḥammad Qulī conveyed M. Sulaimān's daughters, who were with the expedition, to the Cār-diwār garden, which was in the neigh­bourhood, and fortified it. The people of Kabul surrounded Muḥammad Qulī and sent word to Ma'ṣūm Khān* that if he was quick and would bring help he could easily capture the men whom they had brought into straits. He wrote in reply that as M. Sulaimān's daughters were there it would be disrespectful to behave in such a manner; and he recalled his own men. M. Sulaimān came back from Sanjad-dara, disappointed of his project against M. Ḥakīm, to the neighbourhood of the fort of Kabul, and resumed the siege. Ma'ṣūm Khān sent out a suitable person with a force every day, and fought victoriously with the Badakhshīs. The latter waxed faint in battle and a pestilence broke out among men and horses. M. Sulaimān was constrained to propose peace, and accepted through the instrumentality of Qāẓī Khān Badakhshi some paltry advantage, which might be represented as a con­dition of his return. First he sent his wife to Badakhshān, and then followed her himself. Just about this time M. Hakīm returned from India to Kabul, and the short-sighted ones of that place felt ashamed and sank down from their vain thoughts. The royal camp established itself in Lahore and cast the shadow of justice over the land. The glory of the standards of victory destroyed darkness in minds and horizons. The great feast of the holy weighment* took place at this time, and was performed according to rule with gold and silver and other rareties. Gifts and alms were distributed to rich and poor, and the rulers of tracts of country, especially the governors and landholders of the northern districts placed the head of submission and the forehead of obedience on the dust of the threshold and scattered largesse in proportion to their means. A number who were unable at that time to obtain the blessing of kissing the threshold sent their children and relatives along with able ambassadors.

During these days Muḥammad Bāqī the son of M. 'Īsā Tarkhān and ruler of Tatta sent a representation full of submission and obedi­ence, accompanied by suitable presents, and conveyed by confidential officers. The purport of it was that his father had been a slave of the sublime court and had offered up his life on the carpet of sincerity and devotion. Now he (M. Bāqī) placed the head of respect on the threshold of obedience as being one of those firm in their allegiance. At this time Sultān Maḥmūd Bakarī was acting contrary to the code (of Cingīz Khān) and to the sublime orders and was at the request of the Mīrzās of Qandahār leading troops against him. On account of the writer's being strongly bound to the eternal fortune (of Akbar's family) Sultan Maḥmūd was unable to lay hands on his territory and his troops had been dispersed. Now the writer hoped that he could on account of his loyalty and sincerity, be reckoned among the faith­ful slaves and that no dust of separation would settle upon the court of his union (with Akbar's dynasty). His petition was brought to the royal hearing by the intervention of courtiers and in accordance with his prayer a world-obeyed order was issued to Sulan Maḥmūd Khān to the effect that he should not advance his foot beyond his limits, and should restrain the reins of his fancy from territories appertaining to Bāqī Khān. The ambassadors received permission to depart after having received princely favours.

One of the occurrences was that whilst H.M. the Shāhinshāh was casting his shadow over the northern regions a petition arrived from Agra, from Mun'im Khān the Khān Khānān. Its purport was that the sons of Muḥammad Sultān Mīrzā and Ulugh Mīrzā, who had been distinguished from among the other courtiers by the glance of favour, and who held a fief in the Sarkār of Sambal, had taken the road of rebellion and put out their hands against the villages in the neighbourhood of Delhi. He (Mun'im) had gone to Delhi in order to extirpate them, but they had got news of this and had fled by the way of Māndū.

This Muḥammad* Sulṭān Mīrzā was the son of Sulṭān Wals Mīrzā the son of Bāīqrā the son of Manṣūr, the son of Bāīqrā the son of Umr Shaikh, the son of H.M. Sāhibqirānī Amīr Timūr Gūrgān, and his mother was the daughter of Sulṭān Ḥusain Mīrzā. This last had, during the time of his rule, educated Muḥammad Sulṭan Mīrzā, who was his nephew's grandson. After Sulṭān Husain Mīrzā's death, as a great dispersion took place in Khurāsān, Muhammad Sultān Mīrzā entered the service of H.M. Getī Sitanī Firdūs-Makānī (Bābar), and was received with favour. When the diadem of empire came to Jahānbānī Jinnat Āshiyānī that prince also showed him kindness. He had two sons; one was Ulugh Mīrzā and the other Shāh Mīrzā. Both were successful as his servants. In spite of that, several times they showed signs of opposition, but H.M. (Humāyūn) from his innate kindness winked at this. At last Ulugh Mīrzā met with the reward of his deeds in an attack on the Hazāras. He left two sons, Sikandar Mīrzā and Muḥammad Sultan Mīrzā. After Ulugh Mīrzā was killed, H.M. Jahānbānī Jinnat Ashiyānī cast the shadow of his favour over his sons and gave to Iskandar Mīrzā the title of Ulugh Mīrzā and to Muḥammad Sulṭān Mīrzā that of Shāh Mīrzā. When H.M. the Shāhinshāh came to the throne he showed kindness to Muḥammad Sulṭān Mīrzā and his grandchildren and relatives. When Muḥammad Sultān Mīrzā had grown old he was relieved from military service and given the pargana of 'Aẕimpūr in Sarkār Sambal for his maintenance, so that he might spend his days in tranquillity and in offering up prayers (for Akbar's success). Several children were born to him in his old age— 1st, Ibrāhīm Ḥusain Mīrzā; 2nd, Muḥammad Husain M.; 3rd, Mas'ūd Ḥusain M.; 4th, 'Aāqil Ḥusain M. As the kindnesses of H.M. the Shāhin­shāh extend over all classes of men, every one of these Mīrzās received fiefs suitable to their conditions, and took part in all the expeditions. Especially they were attached to the royal stirrup in the Jaunpūr commotion. After the royal standards had returned from there they got leave to go to their fiefs in Sambal. When the sublime army left Agra and went to the Panjab to extinguish the seditious flames of M. Ḥakīm, Ulugh M. and Shāh M. in combination with Ibrāhīm Ḥusain M. and Muḥammad Ḥusain M. raised the standard of rebellion, and having collected a number of vagabonds stretched out the hand of rapine over Sambal and its neighbourhood. The fief-holders of that district joined and proceeded against them, and as the latter could not resist them, they fled to Khān Zamān and Sikandar Khān. But their company was not acceptable to the latter, for every one in his folly wanted to rule. They came back from there and made an attempt on the Dūāb. They crossed over to pargana Nīmkār. Yār­shāhī, the sister's son of Ḥājī Khān Sīstānī, who was the jājīrdār of that part of the country, advanced to put down those wretches. As the divine destiny intended to deal hardly with them, their destruction was tied in the knot of another season, and Yārshāhī was defeated after fighting manfully. Many goods such as gold, elephants, etc., fell into the hands of those scoundrels, and they went on towards the borders of Delhi, committing rapine. Tātār* Khān made Delhi strong and Mun'im Khān came from Agra in order to repulse them. Those ill-fated ones knew that Mālwa was empty and went there. Near Sampat they fell in with Mīr Mu'īzz-al-mulk who had donned the pilgrim's* garb and was going to the Panjab, and plundered him. Mun'im Khān did not think it advisable to follow them, and so returned to Agra. The rebels took possession of Mālwa which at that time had been assigned to Muhammad* Qulī Khān Barlās, but who, on account of sundry affairs, was then attached to the stirrup of fortune, (i.e. was at Lahore on personal attendance on Akbar). His son-in-law Khwāja Hādī, who was known as Khwāja Kilān, strengthened Ujjain, but some traitors who were with him came out and joined the Mīrzās. The Khwāja's goods were plundered, but he himself escaped on account of his high birth. Qadam Khān the brother of Muqarrab Khān Deccanī was in Hindia. Muḥammad Ḥusain M. besieged him. Muqarrab Khān Deccanī was in the fort of Santwās, and Ḥusain Khān the sister's son of Mahdi Qasim Khān came back from escorting Mahdi Qasim Khān who was going to the Ḥijāz. He had reached Santwās when the turmoil of the Mīrzās showed itself. He too took refuge in Santwās. Ibrāhīm Ḥusain M. prosecuted the siege, and at this time Muḥammad Ḥusain M. got possession of Hindia and put Qadam Khān to death. When they brought his head to the edge of the fort of Santwās Muqarrab Khān lost heart and submitted. Ḥusain Khan* too came out. Though Ibrāhim Ḥusain M. offered him service he would not accept of it. When H.M. the Shāhinshāh proceeded to extirpate Ālī Qulī Khān he came forward and obtained the bliss of service. In fine, when the news of this affair was brought to the royal hearing, he issued an order that Muhammad Sulṭan M. should be removed from 'Āẕimpūr to the fort of Bīānā, and be guarded there.
