'Abdullah* Khān Uzbeg received the title of Shujā-'at-Khān and was appointed to the Sarkār of Kālpī.* Iskandar Khān received the title of Khān 'Aālam, and Maulānā Pīr Mūḥammad Shīrwānī was styled Nāṣir-al-mulk, and attached to the royal person. Qīyā* Khān was nominated to the charge of the Agra territories. The dominion-adorning mind of the Shāhinshāh sent the officers of the court of the Sultanate to every quarter, and so gave order and tranquillity to the pleasant lands of India.
At this time it came to H.M.'s ears that Ḥāji Khān, a slave of Sher Khān Afghan, who was distinguished for courage, prudence, and skill in collecting troops, was acting independently in Alwar, and also that the father and the wife of the ill-fated Hemū, and his goods and chattels were in that Sarkār. Nāṣir-al-mulk was appointed to that service along with a number of trusty and devoted followers. Ḥājī Khān was frightened by the strength of the victorious army and fled before its arrival, and Alwar and the whole of Sarkār Mewat came into the possession of the imperial servants. From there they proceeded to Deoti* Macārī, where was the residence and family* of Hemū. The place was strong and there was much fighting, and the father of Hemū was captured and brought alive before the Nāṣir-al-mulk. The latter called upon him to change his religion. The old man answered, “for eighty years I've worshipped my God, according to this religion. Why should I change it at this time, and why should I, merely from fear of my life, and without understanding it come into your way of worship.”
Pir Muḥammad treated his words as if he heard them not, and answered him with the tongue of the sword. After being victorious there, he came away with much plunder and fifty elephants and did homage at the Court, and was the recipient of royal favours. Ḥājī Khān left the town of Alwar and went off towards Ajmīr in order that he might find an asylum for his family and leave soldiers there and make preparations for renewing the war. The Rānā* who was a great Zamindar and was son of the Rānā who had contended with H.M. Getī Sītānī Firdūs Makānī, as has been described, and had been defeated by him, demanded things from him and put him to intolerable troubles. Of necessity a great battle took place between him and the Rānā near Ajmīr. Ḥājī Khān and Muaffar Khān Shīrwānī who was his Vakīl, did great actions in this engagement, and at last the Rānā was defeated because he was uplifted by the number of his troops. Ḥājī Khān took possession of Ajmīr, Nāgor, and the surrounding country.
When the success of Ḥājī Khān came to the royal hearing, Muḥammad Qāsim Khān of Nīshāpur, Saiyid Maḥmād Bārhā, Shāh Qulī Khān Maḥram, āhir, Khān Kharram Sulān and a number of others were appointed to put him down. When the territory of Delhi and the Dūāb had been swept clear of the enemy, H.M. designed to cast the light of his presence on the eastern districts of India in order that he might cleanse that extensive country which is a pasturage of dominion and fortune, from the dust of sedition-mongers. Just then news was brought that Khiẓr Khwāja Khān had fought with Sikandar Sūr near Lahore, and that he had not stood his ground but had retreated to Lahore. The brief account of this is as follows:—
It has already been stated that when the army marched from Jālandhar towards Delhi to extirpate Hemū, Khiẓr Khwāja Khān had been appointed to repress Iskandar. Isma'īl Beg Dūldai, 'Alī Qulī Khān Mīr Laīf, Shāh Qulī Naranjī, Khāliq Bardī Beg and a large force were sent with him. The great officers went and took up their quarters in Lahore. At the time when the turmoil of Hemū was troubling the world, and such a defeat had befallen the officers in the neighbourhood of Delhi, Mullā 'Abdullah Sulānpūrī who by felino tricks and fox-like proceedings had received from the Afghans the title of Shaikh-al-islām, and from H.M. Jahānbānī Jinnat Āshiyāni the title of Makhdūm-al-mulk, and who from the sedition-mongering which was in his brain, and from the bi-coloured water in his constitution gave himself out as one of the servants of the eternal dominion, but who at heart was in league with the Afghans, wrote invitations to Sikandar and urged him to come out of the hills. Sikandar gathered to himself a number of vagabond Afghans and some land-holders of the hill-country of the Punjab, and came out of the mountains and proceeded to collect revenue in the Punjab. Khiẓr* Khwāja Khān left the city of Lahore to the charge of Ḥājī Muḥammad Khān Sīstānī and set out to oppose Sikandar. When Ḥāji Muḥammad Khān Sīstānī became certain of the improper behaviour of Mullā 'Abdullah* he punished him by imprisonment and torture. He put him in earth up to his middle, and brought out from the ground some of the gold pieces which his avaricious hand had* buried. When Khiẓr Khwāja arrived near the town of Camyārī and was about ten Kos separated from the enemy, he detached 2,000 picked men and sent them on in advance. Sikandar did not lose the opportunity and met them with a large force. A great battle took place, and the 2,000 were defeated. Khiẓr Khwāja Khān did not think it was time to stand firm and set off towards Lahore. Sikandar pursued him for a little way, and then regarded the collection of the revenues of the country as a free gift from time. When the news of this reached the royal ears, Sikandar Khān who had received the title of Khān 'Aālam was hastily given Sīālkot as a jagir, and sent off with all speed to assist Khiẓr Khwāja Khān.
