Omár Shaikh Kamál eddin, Nur eddin and Jelál eddin were the sons of
Báyezid,[32] and he had a daughter, Kamál Khátún. After the lord Miyán
Jelál eddin succeeded to his father’s dignity, and acquired a very
great power; he never deviated from the precepts of the lord Miyán; he
was just, and an adherer to rule, and girt with energy and activity.
In the year of the Hejira 989 (A. D. 1581-2), when the standards of
majesty of the lord (now an inhabitant of the ninth heaven), that is,
of _Acbar Pádsháh_, returned from Kabul to the firm seat of government
(Delhi), he (Jelal-eddin) came to his presence, but after some days he
took to flight. In the year of the Hejira 1000 (A. D. 1591-2), _Jâfer
Baig Kazvíní Bakhshí_, who was honored with the title of Aśfakháni,
was deputed for the destruction of Jelál eddin Róshni, whom the
blessed _Jelál eddin Muhammed Akbar_ called _Jelálah_, and in the same
year the emperor’s chieftains, having taken prisoners the whole family
of Jelál eddin by the agency of a person called _Vahdit Ali_, brought
them to the foot of the throne, the seat of the deputy of God. In the
year of the Hejira 1007 (A. D. 1598-9), during the reign of the lord,
now inhabiting heaven, Jelál eddin Acbar Pádshah, Miyan Jelál eddin
took Ghizni, and cruelly ravaged this province, but could not maintain
himself in that position. Meanwhile, at the coming up of the
_Hazárah_[33] and the Afghans upon Miyan, a great conflict took place,
in which Miyàn Jelál eddin was wounded by the hand of _Shádmán
Hazárah_, and fled to the mountains of Rabáth, where _Merad Baikh_ and
some of the followers of _Sherif Khan Atcah_ attacked him and made an
end of his affairs.
