2. Mírzá Kashmírí was involved in the rebellion of Prince Khusrau. As the associates were to be punished in an unusual way (siásat i ghair-mukarrar, Tuzuk, p. 32), Jahángír ordered his penis to be cut off.

3. Mírzá Husámuddín. He held a mançab, but died young.

4. Mírzá Záidullah. He was in the service of Khán Jahán Lodí.

200. Wazi´r Beg Jami´l.*

Wazír Jamíl, as he is often called, served in the 9th year of Akbar's reign against 'Abdullah Khán Uzbak, and in the war with Khán Zamán (No. 13). In the final battle, when Bahádur Khán (No. 22) was thrown off his horse, W. J. instead of taking him prisoner, accepted a bribe from him, and let him off. But Nazar Bahádur, a man in the service of Majnún Khán (No. 50) saw it, and took Bahádur prisoner. Afterwards, he received a jágír in the Eastern Districts, and took part in the expeditions to Bengal and Oṛísá under Mun'im Khán. At the outbreak of the Bengal military revolt, he joined the Qáqsháls; but when they separated from Ma'çúm i Kábulí (p. 431, note) and tendered their submission, W. J. also was par­doned. In the 29th year, he came to court, and served in the following year under Jagnáth (No. 69) against the Ráná. He seems to have lived a long time. Jahángír on his accession made him a commander of 3000 (Tuzuk, p. 8).

He is not to be confounded with the Jamíl Beg mentioned under No. 172.

201. Ta´hir, [son of] Saiful-mulúk.

The Ṭabaqát says that Ṭáhir was the son of Sháh Muhammad Saiful-mulúk. His father was governor of Gharjistán in Khurásán, and was killed by Sháh Ṭahmásp of Persia. Ṭáhir went to India, was made an Amír at Akbar's Court, and served in Bengal, where he was when the author of the Ṭabaqát wrote (1001).

He is also mentioned in Dowson's Edition of Elliot's Historians, I., pp. 241, 242.

202. Ba´bu´ Mankli´.

Regarding the name ‘Manklí,’ vide p. 370, note. The Ṭabaqát says that Bábú Manklí was an Afghán, and a commander of 1000.

He was at first in Dáúd's service, and occupied G'horág'hát at the time when Mun'im Khán had invaded Oṛísá (p. 370). Soon after, he entered Akbar's service, but continued to be employed in Bengal. In the 30th year, he suppressed disturbances at G'horág'hát (Akbarn. III., 470), and took part, in the 35th year, in the operations against Qutlú Khán. Two years later, he accompanied Mán Singh's expedition to Oṛísá.

He may have lived under Jahángír; for the Manklí Khán mentioned in the Tuzuk (pp. 70, 138) can only refer to him. The Tuzuk (p. 12) mentions a son of his, Hátim. Another son, Mahmúd, appears to have been a commander of 500, 300 horse under Sháhjahán (Pádisháhn. I., b., p. 323), though the text edition of the Bibl. Indica calls him son of Yábú Maikalí (<Arabic>, for <Arabic>)

203. Muhammad Quli´ Kha´n Turkma´n [Afshár, p. 411].

He served at first in Bengal. At the outbreak of the military revolt, he took the side of the rebels, but left them, and was pardoned by Akbar. In the 30th year, he marched with Mán Singh to Kábul, where he greatly distinguished himself. In the 39th year, when Qulij Khán (No. 42) was appointed to Kábul, Muhammad Qulí Khán, his brother Hamzah Beg (perhaps No. 277), and others, were sent to Kashmír, vice Yúsuf Khán (No. 35, and p. 411). In the 45th year, a party of Kashmírís tried to set up Ambá Chak* as king; but they were defeated by 'Alí Qulí, son of M. Q. Kh. In the 47th year, M. Q. Kh. was made a commander of 1500, 600 horse; and Hamzah Beg, one of 700, 350 horse. New disturbances broke out, when in the following year 'Alí Rái, king of Little Tibet, invaded the frontier districts of Kashmír. He retreated on M. Q. Kh.'s arrival, and was vigorously pursued, when the imperialists were enforced by Saifullah (No. 262) from Láhor. In the 49th year, Ambá again appeared, but was driven, with some difficulty, from his mountains.

In the 2nd year of Jahángír's reign, M. Q. K. was removed from Kashmír. Hamzah Beg was in the 49th year of Akbar's reign a commander of 1000.

204. Bakhtya´r Beg Gurd i Sha´h Mansu´r.

The Izáfat most likely means that he was the son of Sháh Mançúr, in which case the word gurd (athlete) would be Bakhtyár's epithet. Two MSS. have the word pisar (son) instead of gurd.

The Ṭabaqát says, ‘Bakhtyár Beg Turkmán in an Amír, and governs at present (1001) Síwistán.’ In the 32nd year, he served against the Táríkís.

205. Haki´m Huma´m,* son of Mír 'Abdurrazzáq of Gílán.

Regarding his family connection, vide No. 112, p. 424. Humám's real name is Humáyún. When he came to Akbar's Court, he discreetly called himself Humáyún Qulí, or ‘slave of Humáyún;’ but soon afterwards, Akbar gave him the name of Humám. He held the office of Bakáwal Beg (p. 57), and though only a commander of 600, he was a personal friend of Akbar, and possessed great influence at court. In the 31st year, he was sent with Çadr Jahán (No. 194) to Túrán as ambassador. Akbar often said that he did not enjoy his meals on account of Humám's absence. He returned to India, about a month after his brother's death. He died in the 40th year, on the 6th Rabí' I., 1004. Badáoní (II., p. 406) says, the day after Humám's death, Kamálá (p. 264) also died, and their property was at once put under seal and escheated to the government, so that they were destitute of a decent shroud.

Humám had two sons—

1. Hakím Háziq (<Arabic>). He was born at Fathpúr Síkrí, and was a young man when his father died. At Sháhjahán's accession, he was made a commander of 1500, 600 horse, and was sent, in the 1st year, to Túrán as ambassador. He rose to a command of 3000. Later, for some reason, his mançab was cancelled, and he lived at A´grah on a pension of 20,000 rupees per annum, which in the 18th year, was doubled. He died in the 31st year (1068).* He was a poet of some dis­tinction, and wrote under the name of Háziq. His vanity is said to have been very great. A copy of his díwán was kept on a golden stool in his reception room, and visitors, when it was brought in or taken away, were expected to rise and make saláms; else he got offended.

2. Hakím Khushhál. He grew up with Prince Khurram. Sháhjahán, on his accession, made him a commander of 1000. He was for some time Bakhshí of the Dak'hin.

206. Mi´rza´ Anwar, son of Khán i A'zam Mírzá Kokah (No. 21).

He was mentioned above on p. 328.
