One of the occurrences was that Farhād K. made a night attack and had to retire unsuccessful. Sher Khwāja, M. Yūsuf, M. Kocak 'Alī, Y'aqūb Beg, Muḥammad K., Burhān-al-Mulk, Abu-l-ḥasan and many other servants were assembled in Pāthrī (?). When the writer joined the Khān-khānān at Parnūr,* and the soldiers were very busy. The mad Abyssinian who was facing Sher Khwāja with a number of wicked men, formed long schemes. He did not think that he had the strength to fight by day, but on the night of the 18th he attacked and fought hard but had to retire. On the night of the 20th Ḥusain Qulīj K. was married to the daughter of Āṣaf K. Two lakhs and 50,000 dāms were bestowed for the marriage-celebrations. On the 29th H.M. embarked on a boat and gave glory to the house of Zain K.'s sister, and brought her out of her sorrow by cordial words. On 12th Āẕar the daughter of Rām Dās was married to Siyām Singh. H.M. went to the ante-chamber (peshkhāna) of the bride's father and bestowed favours, and presented five lakhs of dāms for the marriage celebrations. On the 18th Shāh Qulī K. Maḥram died of diarrhœa. He had an abundant share of courage and honesty, and kept a youthful heart in old age. He was continually on horseback and enjoying the pleasures of the chase. H.M. soothed the survivors by princely favours. Oh the 21st Amba Cokā was taken. The writer wished to go with a number of active men from Parnūr to punish Farhād K. The evil thoughts of some of his companions prevented him. When the soldiers after long delay crossed the Ganges, there was a severe engagement between them and that Abyssinian. He (the writer) left Barelī, traversed the hills and sate down at Amba* Cokā, which has a choice fort. That fertile country came into pos­session. On this day Sālbāhan came from court. He brought a spe­cial shawl* (parm) and good news of H.M. This good news encour­aged me, and increased my energy. Many of my companions from shortness of thought did not wish to advance. By great efforts a ⁸⁰⁰ forwardmovement was made. On the right wing were M. Zāhid, Mīr Gadāī and some other brave men. On the left wing were Bahādur-al-Mulk, Kackana, and some others. In the van were Sher Khwājā, with a party of noted men. When we had emerged from the passes, the advance-guard of the enemy, who were more than 4,000, dis­persed after a short engagement. Although, on account of the approach of night no pursuit was made, yet the fort was taken and that populous city plundered. The soldiers got abundant booty. The same night, news came that the son of Shāh 'Alī who had thought that the fort of Dhārwar would be his protection, and who had collected an army, had entered the hill-country of Ousa. My idea was that next day I would punish that bewildered one. Owing to the duplicity of some persons this did not occur. In a short time the rear force came up, but the son of Shāh 'Alī, who had been presumptuous, became submissive, and sent apologetic letters. At this time Ḥamīd K. and his son Yūsuf arrived. After the defeat in Telingānah, he by great efforts got out and by ability collected some men. He (Yūsuf?) fought many engagements with the rebels there, and from want of strength he joined the victorious troops with 150 men. When his father was made prisoner, the son of Shāh 'Alī invited him to join him, but he from a happy star declined. Shāh 'Alī's son kept him under surveillance. At night he came out on foot. On the 26th by the guidance of the landholder he joined the army. By much questioning* (?) he gained his end. On the 28th M. Yūsuf K. died. When disturbances rose up on every side the Prince sent M. Rustum, M. Yūsuf and some others to render assistance. When they came to Jālnāpūr that good servant died of a tumour (dard-i-dambal). On 9th Dai the festival of the lunar weighment was cele­brated, and H.M. was weighed in the house of Miriam-Makānī against eight articles. There was a daily market of liberality, and high and low obtained their desires.

One of the occurrences was that the victorious troops returned after having made a peace. Some by love of sedition, some by shortness of thought and some by simplicity were led into the sleep of neglect by the artifices of the son of Shāh 'Alī. When they came to the bank of the Mānjara, that plotter increased his entreaties. The death of M. Yūsuf K. and the disturbance of Rājū and the Fārūqī* youth (?) increased their wishes. The administra­tors of the country had seized the fief of one Qāsim—whose father had fallen in good service. Owing to the pains of ill-success he joined Rājū. He gave him a body of men and sent him to the country* of Dāndes, and followed after himself. They were compelled to agree to a peace on the terms that Bāz Bahādur, 'Alī Mardān Bahādur and Hazāra Beg should be released, and that he (Shāh 'Alī's son) should not withdraw from obedience, and that some territory should be left ⁸⁰¹ to him. On the 11th he brought, at the distance of five kos from the camp, I'tibar al-mulk, the brother of Tanīg* Rāo, and some others. Mīr Murtazā came from this (the imperial) side and received the document of the treaty and gave a firmān of security.

On this day Bhagwān Dās Mastaufī died in Agra. He was very clever among the accountants (batakcīān.)

Next day the imperialists returned. When they came to Rām­pūrī, the taking of Telingāna and the guarding of that country were made over to Mīr Martaẓā. Bahādur-al-Mulk, Rustum 'Arab, Sham­sher 'Arab, S'aīd 'Arab, Burhān-ul-Mulk and othors were sent with him and obtained jāgīrs. On the 18th the Mīr took his leave, and it was arranged that the Khān-khānān should take up his quarters at Parnūr* to encourage the soldiers of Pāthrī and Telingāna. The writer went back to punish Rājū. M. Rustum, Rajah Sūraj Singh and Muqīm K. with the brothers of Rajah Bikramājīt and others were appointed to help him. M. 'Alī Beg, the Saiyids of Bārha, the brothers of Jānish Bahādur and 'Aādil K. with his brethren and some others who were in Jālnāpūr were also appointed to accompany him. Some money and horses were also spoken* of (?). On the 19th he went off. On the 29th Lāla took leave to return into private life. He was the eldest son of Rajah Bīr Bar. From violent passions and self-will he was extravagant, and formed wide desires. Failure led him further astray, and he got this idea (of retiring) into his head. H.M. regarded this severance* as the remedy for his bewilderment.

On 2nd Bahman the writer came to Burhānpūr, and had the good fortune to pay his respects to the Prince. When he came to Jālnāpūr on the expedition against Rājū, envious people fell into evil thoughts. By pretexts they took the fiefs from the auxiliaries and baulked their energy. I left the camp and proceeded there quickly, thinking that I might get leave from the Prince and go to court, and be somewhat rid of the trouble of envy. At this time Mīr Martaẓā Qulī came from court, and conveyed princely favours. Among them were two special horses, one for the writer, and the other for his son, 'Abdu-r-raḥmān. At the end of the day twenty more horses came. At this succession of favours my withered heart bloomed again.

On the 8th it came to H.M.'s notice that some avaricious persons did not abstain from levying dues. He committed the charge of the empire to some well-intentioned and moderate persons. Agra he entrusted to Āṣaf K., the routes to the Deccan and Mālwa to Rām Dās, the Gujrāt routes to Kalyān Dās, the Lahore routes to S. Farīd bakhshī. The disturbance of cupidity was diminished somewhat, and there were meetings to return thanks. On the 12th Dalpat, the son of Rai Rai Singh came to court. His apologies were accepted and he was forgiven. On the 13th the daughter of M. Koka was ⁸⁰² married to S'aad Ullah, the son of S'aīd K., and there was rejoicing. On the 24th a son was born in the harem of the Prince (Daniel) by the daughter of the Khān-khānān. He soon went to the other world. On the 25th S. Mūsā* Qādirī was killed. Maḥmūd Langāh with the son of Nāhir K. fell upon him in the town of Ūch in Mul­tān, and that brave man fell fighting. He was one of the learned men who loved a monastic life and became an Amīr by his devotion to H.M. On this day Muḥammad K., the son of Daulat K., took a strange madness into his head. He by his own efforts brought him­self to death. He became bewildered by the heats of youth, and desires, and even became mad. By treatment he became better. At this time he came out to hunt, and at the end of the day got sepa­rated from his companions. In the town of Pāl* he got into an engagement with the Kolīs, and fought and was killed.
