Spite of acknowledging me for his chief (_pādshāh_), he had nagarets beaten at his own Gate. He was sincere to none, had regard for none. What revenue there is from Kābul (town) comes from the _ṯamghā_[957]; the whole of this he had, together [Sidenote: Fol. 159b.] with the _dārogha_-ship in Kābul and Panjhīr, the Gadai (var. Kidī) Hazāra, and _kūshlūk_[958] and control of the Gate.[959] With all this favour and finding, he was not in the least content; quite the reverse! What medley of mischief he planned has been told; we had taken not the smallest notice of any of it, nor had we cast it in his face. He was always asking for leave, affecting scruple at making the request. We used to acknowledge the scruple and excuse ourselves from giving the leave. This would put him down for a few days; then he would ask again. He went too far with his affected scruple and his takings of leave! Sick were we too of his conduct and his character. We gave the leave; he repented asking for it and began to agitate against it, but all in vain! He got written down and sent to me, "His Highness made compact not to call me to account till nine[960] misdeeds had issued from me." I answered with a reminder of eleven successive faults and sent this to him through Mullā Bābā of Pashāghar. He submitted and was allowed to go towards Hindūstān, taking his family and possessions. A few of his retainers escorted him through Khaibar and returned; he joined Bāqī _Gāgīānī's_ caravan and crossed at Nīl-āb. Daryā Khān's son, Yār-i-ḥusain was then in Kacha-kot,[961] having drawn into his service, on the warrant of the _farmān_ taken from me in Kohāt, a few Afghāns of the Dilazāk (var. Dilah-zāk) and Yūsuf-zāī and also a few Jats and Gujūrs.[962] With these he beat the roads, taking toll with might and main. Hearing about Bāqī, he blocked the road, made the whole party [Sidenote: Fol. 160.] prisoner, killed Bāqī and took his wife. We ourselves had let Bāqī go without injuring him, but his own misdeeds rose up against him; his own acts defeated him. Leave thou to Fate the man who does thee wrong; For Fate is an avenging servitor. (_f. Attack on the Turkmān Hazāras._) That winter we just sat in the Chār-bāgh till snow had fallen once or twice. The Turkmān Hazāras, since we came into Kābul, had done a variety of insolent things and had robbed on the roads. We thought therefore of over-running them, went into the town to Aūlūgh Beg Mīrzā's house at the Būstān-sarāī, and thence rode out in the month of Sha`bān (Feb. 1506 AD.). We raided a few Hazāras at Janglīk, at the mouth of the Dara-i-khūsh (Happy-valley).[963] Some were in a cave near the valley-mouth, hiding perhaps. Shaikh Darwīsh Kūkūldāsh went incautiously right (_auq_) up to the cave-mouth, was shot (_aūqlāb_) in the nipple by a Hazāra inside and died there and then (_aūq_).[964]
