The Institutes of Akbar 228: 7. Mirzá Sháhrukh, son of Mirzá Ibráhím.

228

Vide Nos. 5 and 6. Akbar, in 1001, gave him his daughter Shukrunnisá Begum, and made him governor of Málwah, and he distinguished himself in the conquest of the Dak’hin. Towards the end of Akbar’s reign, he was made a Commander of seven thousand, and was continued in his Mansab by Jahángír.
He died at Ujjain in 1016. His wife, Kábulí Begum, was a daughter of Mirzá Muhammad Hakím. She wanted to take his body to Madínah, but was robbed by the Badawís; and after handing over the body to some ‘scoundrels,’ she went to Basrah, and then to Shíráz. In 1022, Sháh ’Abbás married her to Mirzá Sultán ’Alí, his uncle, whom he had blinded; but the Begum did not like her new husband.
Sháhrukh’s Children. 1. Hasan and Husain, twins. Hasan fled with Khusrau and was imprisoned by Jahángír. 2. Badí’uzzamán (or Mírzá Fathpúrí), ‘a bundle of wicked bones,’ murdered by his brothers in Patan (Gujrát). 3. Mírzá Shujá’ rose to honours under Sháhjahán, who called him Najábat Khán. 4. Mírzá Muhammad Zamán. He held a town in Badakhshán, and fell against the Uzbaks. 5. Mírzá Sultán, a favorite of Jahángír. He had many wives, and Jahángír would have given him his own daughter in marriage, if he had not perjured himself in trying to conceal the number of his wives. He fell in disgrace, was appointed governor of Gházípúr, where he died. 6. Mírzá Mughul, who did not distinguish himself either. The Tuzuk (p. 65) says that after the death of Sháhrukh, Jahángír took charge of four of his sons, and three of his daughters, ‘whom Akbar had not known.’ ‘Sháhrukh, though twenty years in India, could not speak a word of Hindí.’
