Haji Muhammad of Sistan (No. 55) accompanied Bairam over Nagor to Patan (Nahrwalah) in Gujrat, where he was hospitably received by Musa Khan Fuladi, the governor. On Friday, 14th Jumada I, 968, while alighting from a boat after a trip on the Sahansa Lang Tank, Bairam was stabbed by a Lohani Afghan of the name of Mubarak, whose father had been killed in the battle of Machhiwarah. “With an Allahu Akbar on his lips, he died.” The motive of Mubarak Khan is said to have merely been revenge. Another reason is mentioned. The Kashmiri wife of Salim Shah with her daughter had attached herself to Bairam’s suite, in order to go to Hijaz, and it had been settled that Bairam’s son should be betrothed to her, which annoyed the Afghans. Some beggars lifted up Bairam’s body, and took it to the tomb of Shaikh Husamuddin. Seventeen years later the body was interred in holy ground at Mashhad. Akbar took charge of ’Abdurrahim, Bairam’s son (vide No. 29), and married soon after Salimah Sultan Begum, Bairam’s widow. For بیرام Bairam, we often find the spelling بهرام Bahram. Firishtah generally calls him Bairam Khan Turkman. Bairam was a Shi’ah, and a poet of no mean pretensions (vide Badaoni III, p. 190). - [Previous: 231.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.231.4) - [Next: 232](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.232) - [Up: 231](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.231) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.231.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.231.5) · Pramāṇa
