Muntakhab al-tawarikh 152: Masnawi.

152

Stand aloof from the Sufis of the city and the country, All of them are unmanly wretches, devourers of men. Whatever one gives to them that they devour, Whatever lies in their power that they do. They have no occupation but sleeping and eating, They take no thought on the day on which they shall die —
for the purpose of averting from themselves their evil reputation and concealing their gross immorality, formed the design of dispatching a farman summoning from Dihli to Lahor Shaikh ‘Abdu-’l-Ghani with one or two of his surviving children, whose names will be mentioned hereafter, for the purpose of urging him to submit to the new orders, which they themselves had most readily and cheerfully accepted. The Shaikh wrote a letter to me setting forth his helplessness and asking to be excused, and accordingly, after many representations Ahmad-i-Sufiyak was appeased, and abandoned his design, and he caused a letter to be written and sent to the Shaikh excusing him from attending in obedience to the summons and asking forgiveness for what he had done. Please God the matter will end satisfactorily.
