Darwīsh-i-`alī Beg was another,[1088] the younger full-brother of `Alī-sher Beg. He had the Balkh Command for a time and there did good beg-like things, but he was a muddle-head and somewhat wanting in merit. He was dismissed from the Balkh Command because his muddle-headedness had hampered the Mīrzā in his first campaign against Qūndūz and Ḥiṣār. He came to my presence when I went to Qūndūz in 916 AH. (1510 AD.), brutalized and stupefied, far from capable begship and out-side peaceful home-life. Such favour as he had had, he appears to have had for `Alī-sher Beg's sake. Mughūl Beg was another. He was Governor of Herī for a time, later on was given Astarābād, and from there fled to Ya`qūb Beg in `Irāq. He was of amorous disposition[1089] and an incessant dicer. Sayyid Badr (Full-moon) was another, a very strong man, [Sidenote: Fol. 173b.] graceful in his movements and singularly well-mannered. He danced wonderfully well, doing one dance quite unique and seeming to be his own invention.[1090] His whole service was with the Mīrzā whose comrade he was in wine and social pleasure. Islīm _Barlās_ was another, a plain (_turk_) person who understood hawking well and did some things to perfection. Drawing a bow of 30 to 40 _bātmāns_ strength,[1091] he would make his shaft pass right through the target (_takhta_). In the gallop from the head of the _qabaq-maidān_,[1092] he would loosen his bow, string it again, and then hit the gourd (_qabaq_). He would tie his string-grip (_zih-gīr_) to the one end of a string from 1 to 1-1/2 yards long, fasten the other end to a tree, let his shaft fly, and shoot through the string-grip while it revolved.[1093] Many such remarkable feats he did. He served the Mīrzā continuously and was at every social gathering. Sl. Junaid _Barlās_ was another;[1094] in his latter days he went to Sl. Aḥmad Mīrzā's presence.[1095] He is the father of the Sl. Junaid _Barlās_ on whom at the present time[1096] the joint-government of Jaunpūr depends. Shaikh Abū-sa`īd Khān _Dar-miyān_ (In-between) was another. It is not known whether he got the name of Dar-miyān because he took a horse to the Mīrzā _in the middle_ of a fight, or whether because he put himself _in between_ the Mīrzā and some-one designing on his life.[1097] Bih-būd Beg was another. He had served in the pages' circle (_chuhra jīrgasī_) during the guerilla times and gave such [Sidenote: Fol. 174.] satisfaction by his service that the Mīrzā did him the favour of putting his name on the stamp (_tamghā_) and the coin (_sikka_).[1098] Shaikhīm Beg was another.[1099] People used to call him Shaikhīm _Suhailī_ because Suhailī was his pen-name. He wrote all sorts of verse, bringing in terrifying words and mental images. Here is a couplet of his:— In the anguish of my nights, the whirlpool of my sighs engulphs the firmament; Like a dragon, the torrent of my tears swallows the quarters of the world.
