Muntakhab al-tawarikh 12.11

12.11

At length an arrow, guided by fate, struck the Mirza at the back of his head, and came out through his throat. Unable otherwise to help himself, he changed his clothes, and his men left him. They fled, sorely distressed, in every direction. But wherever they went, they were marks for the arrows of death, and met their fate. One or two old slaves of Mirza Ibrahim, having dressed him in the garments of a kalandar, were desirous of getting him out of the way of danger. His helplessness was so great that they took him for refuge to the dwelling of a darwesh named Shaikh Zakariya. Outwardly the Shaikh applied ointment to his wounds, but privately he sent information to Sa'id Khan at Multan. The Khan sent a slave named Daulat Khan to bring in the Mirza a prisoner. Sa'id Khan wrote a despatch, and sent it to the Emperor as he was coming to Ajmir on his return from Gujarat.
