As I was not aware of their treacherous intentions, and considered them Muselmāns, I placed confidence in them, and set out to join them. When I reached the plains of Kesh, I saw a great number of handsome tents pitched, and a regular encampment formed. When I approached the camp, Bāyezyd came out to meet me, and to do me honour, he took my hand and first led me into the public tent. (Bargāh); he then said, “as we must have some confidential conversation, and the time is short, we had better go to the private tent,” (Khergāh) and he led the way. When we entered the Khergāh, I saw that the carpet was raised up in a particular part: and when I advanced, it appeared to me, that there was a well there which they had covered over with felt. Suspicion seized my mind. I delayed to sit down, and was convinced that treachery was intended. At this time Bāyezyd sat down on my right hand, and Berlās on my left hand. I then pretended that I was seized with a bleeding of the nose; I drew out my handkerchief, and applied it to my nose, and immediately walked from the private, into the public tent. I proceeded through it till I was joined by all my Officers, as they were well armed; they sounded the trumpets, and we returned to our own camp. Bāyezyd was afterwards ashamed of his conduct, and laid all the blame on Berlās. At this time Myr Syed Aly of Termuz,[54] who was one of the most learned and devout personages of the age, cursed them both for me, saying, “O Lord, cast down the evil doers to the lowest pit of hell;” his prayer was heard, and God afterwards caused these two scoundrels to quarrel with each Other, by which means I was delivered from their malice and treachery.
