Laṯīf Begīm was another, a daughter's child of Aḥmad Ḥājī Beg _Dūldāī_ (_Barlās_). After the Mīrzā's death, Ḥamza Sl. took her and she had three sons by him. They with other sulṯāns' children, fell into my hands when I took Ḥiṣār (916 AH.-1510 AD.) after defeating Ḥamza Sulṯān and Tīmūr Sulṯān. I set all free. Ḥabība-sulṯān Begīm was another, a daughter of the brother of Sl. Ḥusain _Arghūn_. _t. His amīrs._ Jānī Beg _Dūldāī_ (_Barlās_) was a younger brother of Sl. Malik _Kāshgharī_. Sl. Abū-sa`īd Mīrzā gave him the Government of Samarkand and Sl. Aḥmad Mīrzā gave him the control of his own Gate.[212] He must have had singular habits and [Sidenote: Fol. 21.] manners;[213] many strange stories are told about him. One is this:—While he was Governor in Samarkand, an envoy came to him from the Aūzbegs renowned, as it would seem, for his strength. An Aūzbeg, is said to call a strong man a bull (_būkuh_). "Are you a _būkuh_?" said Jānī Beg to the envoy, "If you are, come, let's have a friendly wrestle together (_kūrāshālīng_)." Whatever objections the envoy raised, he refused to accept. They wrestled and Jānī Beg gave the fall. He was a brave man. Aḥmad Ḥājī (_Dūldāī Barlās_) was another, a son of Sl. Malik _Kāshgharī_. Sl. Abū-sa`īd Mīrzā gave him the Government of Hīrī (Harāt) for a time but sent him when his uncle, Jānī Beg died, to Samarkand with his uncle's appointments. He was pleasant-natured and brave. Wafā'ī was his pen-name and he put together a dīwān in verse not bad. This couplet is his: "I am drunk, Inspector, to-day keep your hand off me, "Inspect me on the day you catch me sober." Mīr `Alī-sher Nāwā'ī when he went from Hīrī to Samarkand, was with Aḥmad Ḥājī Beg but he went back to Hīrī when Sl. Ḥusain Mīrzā (Bāī-qarā) became supreme (873 AH.-1460 AD.) and he there received exceeding favour. [Sidenote: Fol. 21b.] Aḥmad Ḥājī Beg kept and rode excellent _tīpūchāqs_,[214] mostly of his own breeding. Brave he was but his power to command did not match his courage; he was careless and what was necessary in his affairs, his retainers and followers put through. He fell into Sl. `Alī Mīrzā's hands when the Mīrzā defeated Bāī-sunghar Mīrzā in Bukhārā (901 AH.), and was then put to a dishonourable death on the charge of the blood of Darwesh Muḥammad Tarkhān.[215] Darwesh Muḥammad Tarkhān (_Arghūn_) was another, the son of Aūrdū-būghā Tarkhān and full-brother of the mother of Sl. Aḥmad Mīrzā and Sl. Maḥmūd Mīrzā.[216] Of all begs in Sl. Aḥmad Mīrzā's presence, he was the greatest and most honoured. He was an orthodox Believer, kindly and darwesh-like, and was a constant transcriber of the Qu'rān.[217] He played chess often and well, thoroughly understood the science of fowling and flew his birds admirably. He died in the height of his greatness, with a bad name, during the troubles between Sl. `Alī Mīrzā and Bāī-sunghar Mīrzā.[218]
