Wherever Thy favour is, there it is,
What is not done is as done, and what is done is as not done.
On 10th Ābān, M. Moaffar Ṣafavī died. Muḥammad Beg Khubānī was ordered to convey his body to Delhi. As Mīr Jamālu-d-dīn Ḥusain Anjū had been long at 'Ādil K. of Bījāpūr's court, H.M. became aware of the latter's craftiness, and issued orders to Prince Daniel and the Khān-khānān to the effect that as by God's help his mind was at ease about the imperial domains, he would, if his servants advised, come to the Deccan and by chastisement awaken the slumbering 'Ādil K. These orders were entrusted to 'Inayat 'Ullah Kitābdār. When he conveyed them to the prince, the latter sent him on to 'Ādil K., and wrote him a letter of advice. H.M. sent his turban by Muḥammad Sharīf Kūlābī for Prince Daniel and a special horse called Har Parshād. Khwāja 'Abdullah,* being disgusted with the evil conduct of the Prince-Royal's officers set his face towards the court, and H.M. gave him a manṣab of 1,000 zāt and the title of Ṣafdar Khān. He was the sister's son of Khwāja Ḥasan Naqshbandī, and was at first with Sher Khwāja. He did good service in the Deccan. Afterwards by fortune's guidance he entered the prince's service and became an Aḥadī. Gradually he rose to the rank of 1,000 and the title of Khān. At this time he was guided to the threshold of fortune.
One of the occurrences was the subsiding of the commotion of 'Alī Rai the ruler of Tibet. Before this it had been reported to H.M. that he by conquering the ruler of great Tibet and getting possession of much gold had become presumptuous, and raised a great commotion in Kashmīr. An order was given to Qulīj K. the ubahdār of Lahore to send a force to assist Muḥammad Qulī the governor of Kashmīr so that that gnat which was buzzing in the wine-cup might meet with his deserts. At this time it was reported that Qulīj K. had sent 3,000 horse and 500 barqandāzes (musketeers) under the command of his son Saif Ullah to assist Muḥammad Qulī 824 Beg. When 'Alī Rai heard of the arrival of the troops, his heart failed him and he fled without fighting. The imperialists pursued him as far as the horses could go, and then turned back. On 11th Ābān, Laharī Bandar was bestowed on the Prince-Royal, and a special horse called Shāh 'Inayat was given to Dost Muḥammad to convey to the Prince. It was settled that Prince Daniel should receive a lakh of rupis every year from the proceeds of the port of Cambay. At the request of the Prince-Royal, Khwājāgī Fatḥ Ullah Bakhshī received the rank of 1,000 and was allowed to go to the Prince. Muḥammad Qulī had sent twelve swift horses, natives of Kashmīr, and they were produced before H.M.
One of the occurrences was the success of the royal arms in Bengal, the downfall of Kedār Zamīndār, and the retreat of the Magh Rajah. News came that Kedār,—who was a noted proprietor in Bengal—had joined the Magh zamīndār with a large fleet, and used force against the thāna of Srīnagar. On hearing of this Rajah Mān Singh sent an army provided with artillery against that presumptuous man. Near Nagar Sūr* the latter appeared with a large force and a great battle took place. The enemy was defeated, and many were slain. Kedār was wounded with bullets and was flying half-dead. The brave troops followed him and captured him. There was a little life in him when he was brought before the Rajah, but he soon died. With his death the flames of disturbance in Bengal were extinguished. After this, Rajah Mān Singh—who had made preparations in Bhawāl for attacking 'Umān heard of the commotion raised by the zamīndār of Magh and set out to put him down. The latter did not see his advantage in fighting, and went back to his own country, and the Rajah turned back to Bhawāl to deal with 'Umān. He too fled, and the Rajah's mind being now at ease and having committed the thanahs to the charge of able men he went to Dhāka.
The gracious sovereign cast an eye upon the comfort of travellers and ordered that in the serais on the high roads, refuges and kitchens should be established, and that articles of food should be in readiness for the empty handed travellers so that when they had 825 undergone the fatigues of journeying and had sat down to rest they might put food into their mouths without trouble.
Mīr Gadai the son of Abū Turāb received the rank of 700 and 400 horse, and Mīr Martaẓā that of 2,000 zāt-u-sawār. M. Kaiqubād the son of M. Muḥammad Ḥakīm was put into the charge of Jagannāth in order that he be schooled in the prison of Fort Rantambhor. From bad companionship he had fallen into drinking-habits, and had committed evil deeds. This was his retribution. Shādmān and 'Abdullah the sons of the Khān A'im were each raised to the rank of 1,500. The first was sent off to the government of Gujarat and the second to Jūnagarh. It was reported to H.M. that Mīr M'aṣūm Bhakarī who on 27th Āẕar of this year had been sent off on an embassy to Persia had waited upon Shāh 'Abbās when he was besieging the fort of Irwān (Erivan). The Shāh had received him with great honour, and had ordered a large sum of money to be given to him and had taken the letter of the Shāhinshāh in his two hands and placed it on his head. He had asked “How is His Majesty my Shāh Bāba? (royal father). In what condition is he?” The presents had been spread out and he had personally inspected all of them. He had for two or three days sent the ambassadors of Garjistān and the Sirdārs of Turkestan and other strangers to inspect them. He had marvelled at beholding these rareties which were objects of admiration to all.
