Khwajah Jahan, Amina of Harat. The Áín i Akbari (Blochmann, Jarrett) 341 - **Language:** English ### [341](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.341) His full name is Khwajah Aminuddin Mahmud of Harat. The form Amina is modern Irani, which likes to add a long a to names. Amina was an excellent accountant and a distinguished calligrapher. He accompanied Humayun on his flight to Persia. On the return of the emperor, he was made Bakhshi of Prince Akbar. On Akbar’s accession, Amin was made a Commander of One Thousand, and received the title of Khwajah Jahan. He was generally employed in financial work, and kept the great seal. In the 11th year, he was accused by Muzaffar Khan (No. 37) of want of loyalty shewn in the rebellion of Khan Zaman. Amin was reprimanded, the great seal was taken from him, and he was dismissed to Makkah. On his return, he was pardoned. In the 19th year (981-82), Akbar besieged Hajipur; but Amin had been compelled by sickness to remain behind at Jaunpur. When the emperor returned from Hajipur over Jaunpur to Agrah, Amin followed him. On the march, he was once charged by a mast elephant: his foot got entangled in a tent rope, and he fell to the ground. The accident had an injurious effect on Amin, convalescent as he was. He died near Lak’hnau, in the beginning of Sha’ban, 982. According to the chronology of the Tabaqat, his death took place in 983. A son of Amin’s brother is mentioned. His name was Mirza Beg. He was a poet and wrote under the takhallus of Shahri. He withdrew from Court, and died in 989. Jahangir also conferred the title of Khwajah Jahan on the officer (Dost Muhammad of Kabul) who had served him as Bakhshi while Prince. - [Previous: 340](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.340) - [Next: 342](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.342) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.341](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.341) · Pramāṇa
