Farhat Khán, Mihtar Sakai, a slave of Humáyún. The Áín i Akbari (Blochmann, Jarrett) 373 - **Language:** English ### [373](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.373) The MSS. have Sakáí and Sakáhí. Farhat Khán is first mentioned in the war between Humáyún and Mírzá Kámrán, when many grandees joined the latter. In a fight, Beg Bábá of Koláb lifted up his sword to strike Humáyún from behind. He missed and was at once attacked by Farhat and put to flight. When Humáyún left Láhor on his march to Sarhind, where Sikandar Khán was, Farhat was appointed Shiqdár of Láhor. Subsequently, Mír Sháh Abul Ma’álí was appointed Governor of Láhor. He sent away Farhat, and appointed his own men instead. Farhat therefore joined Prince Akbar on his arrival in the Panjáb. After Akbar’s accession, Farhat was made Tuyúldár of Korrah. He distinguished himself in the war with Muhammad Husain Mírzá near Ahmadábád. When the Mírzá was brought in a prisoner, Farhat refused him a drink of water which he had asked for; but Akbar gave him some of his own water, and remonstrated with Farhat for his cruelty. In the 19th year, he served in Bihár and was made jágírdár of Arah. In the 21st year (984), Gajpatí (p. 400) devastated the district. Farhang Khán, Farhat’s son, marched against him, but was repulsed and slain. Farhat then moved against the enemy to avenge the death of his son, but met with the same fate (vide No. 80). - [Previous: 372](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.372) - [Next: 374](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.374) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.373](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.373) · Pramāṇa
