I WAS present in the assembly when Mauláná Muhammad Par-ghari arrived from Agra, with a letter from Humáyun Pádisháh; he also was present when the Khwája gave the answer before­mentioned. Mauláná Muhammad began to weep and begged that his sins might be forgiven him; he beseeched [the Khwája] with great earnestness to write a letter to Humáyun. The Khwája wrote: “Oh! Humá, do not throw thy noble shadow, in a land where the parrot is less common than the kite [zaghan].” Now, in this miracle there is a curious pun, for Humá Pádisháh did not throw his shadow in the country where the parrot is rarer than the kite. [Mauláná Muhammad] returned stupefied…*

While I was in Láhur, Tahmásp Sháh, son of Sháh Ismáil, came from Irák, took Kandahár from the deputies of Kámrán Mirzá, and having given it over to some of his trusted officers, he returned. This caused Kámrán Mirzá intense grief, and he asked me to tell the Khwája of his misfortune. The next day, when I went to wait on the Khwája, he said to me: “I have seen his Holiness in a vision, and he asked me, ‘Why are you sad?’ I replied: ‘On account of Kámrán Mirzá, for the Turkománs have taken Kandahár. What will come of it?’ Then his Holiness advanced towards me and taking me by the hand said: ‘Do not grieve; he will soon recover it.’” And thus, indeed, it came to pass, for Kámrán Mirzá marched against Kandahár, and the troops of Tahmásp Sháh gave up the city to him in peace. This is an especially strange thing to have occurred, since the Turkomán rulers are very severe with their subordinates. Be this as it may, the matter was termi­nated quite simply.

Khánzáda Begum, the Emperor's sister, who has been frequently mentioned in this book, fell ill in Kábul. She wrote a letter to the Khwája, and sent it by me, to ask him for a cure for her malady. Now as that letter was badly composed, I rewrote it correctly, and then took it to the Khwája. He, on my arrival, said to me: “I wish to make you partner in a secret,” whereupon I stood up humbly. He continued: “Give me the letter that the Begum herself wrote.” Now, as a fact, I had written my letter in secret, and no one knew anything about my having done so.

I witnessed many other wonders performed by him.
