One of the occurrences was that the justice of the Shāhinshāh inflicted punishment on Lashkar Khān. Though he held the offices of Mīr Bakhshī and Mīr 'Arẓī, etc., the just prince did not refrain from this. The brief account of this instructive affair is as follows: The world's intoxication made Lashkar Khān leave the path of moderation, and made him become the author of improper acts. In his folly he came in open day drunk to that sublime court which is the asylum of the wise of the seven climes, and made a disturbance.* When the truth of the case came to the hearing of H.M. he, for the sake of instruction to him, and warning to others, caused him to be led round, tied to a horse's tail. He then sent him to prison. He cast a glance of patronage on Shahbāz Khān, and made over Lashkar Khān's offices to him. As there are degrees of the Shāhinshāh's patronage, that one, who was imprisoned on account of his own acts in Fatḥpūr, obtained his release at the intercession of favourites. The Khedive of the world, although it was the rainy season, marched every day in the discharge of his kingly duties, and, hunting on the way, arrived at Ajmīr. On the day of Rash 11 Amardād, Divine month, corresponding to Tuesday 1 Rabī-al-awwāl, 21 July 1571, he alighted at the delightful place, and visited the shrine of M'uīnu-d-dīn, and implored strength. He worshipped his God, and united supplication with exaltation. When the stewards of fate and destiny desire to make a happy-starred one's outward and inward dominion increase daily, they restrain him from the heights of saintship. His thirst for pleasing God increases, and from excessive capacity and abundance of spiritual thirst the ocean round him appears as a mirage and he searches for the fountain-head of purpose. With this view a new stage of holiness is continually brought before him. Such is the condition of our Lord of the Age. After paying the dues of justice and after satisfying the desires of those attached to the shrine, he proceeded towards the capital. On the day of Āsmān 27 Amardād, Divine month, corresponding to Thursday 17 Rabi'-al awwal, he alighted at Fatḥpūr. He took up his quarters in the lodging of Shaikh Selīm. The grades of men who had been oppressed and were waiting to do homage obtained happiness.
Among the dominion-increasing events was the making of Sīkrī, which was a dependency of Bīāna, into a great city. As the Khedive of the world is an architect of the spiritual and physical world, and is continually engaged in elevating the grades of mankind, and making strong the foundations of justice, and causes the longing ones of the age to be successful, so also does he strive for increasing the glory of the earth, and cherishes every place in accordance with its condition. Inasmuch as his exalted sons had taken their birth in Sīkrī and the God-knowing spirit of Shaikh Selīm had taken possession thereof, his holy heart desired to give outward splendour to this spot which possessed spiritual grandeur. Now that his standards had arrived at this place, his former design was pressed forward, and an order was issued that the superintendents of affairs should erect lofty buildings for the special use of the Shāhinshāh. All the grades of officers, and the public generally made dwellings for themselves, and a high wall of stone and lime (ḥiṣār) was placed round the place. In a short time there was a great city, and there were charming palaces. Benevolent institutions, such as khānqās, schools and baths, were also constructed, and a large stone bazaar was built. Beautiful gardens were made in the vicinity. A great place of concourse was brought together such as might move the envy of the world. H.M. gave it the name of Fatḥābād, and this by common use was made into Fatḥpūr.
One of the occurrences was that Moaffar Khān conceived the lofty wish of entertaining H.M. the Shāhinshāh in his quarters which had been recently constructed and were the admiration of the critical. When this request was made known to H.M. he accepted the proposal, and on the day of Dībādīn 23 Dai, Divine month, proceeded from Fatḥpūr to Agra the capital. His quarters were spiritually and physically illuminated by the advent of H.M. Gifts were presented, and there was great rejoicing. From there he returned to Fatḥpūr. The wishers of the seven climes attended and obtained their desires without the intervention of anyone. God be praised for that the farseeingness and profundity of the sublime Khedive suppresses the market of the evil and covetous! This evil tribe descends into the abyss of discredit, and the crew who make a way for themselves by a wheedling tongue, do not get an opportunity of speaking. Nay even these good men, who solely for the public advantage recommend men of merit, are rendered unnecessary by the abundant personal attention of the Shāhinshāh. From the ample illumination of his soul he shuts up the petty stalls of the hypocrites and the dissemblers. How shall I describe how that tribe learns its evil doings by the light of the torch of instruction and comes into the ranks of the good, and how the grades of humanity, high and low, come to their level and pray for the permanence of daily-increas-ing dominion? The wise prince from his wide capacity and extensive knowledge treats every one according to his position and makes outward sovereignty consonant with spiritual sanctity.
