It was agreed that Khwaja Kalan Beg should follow Mirza Haidar, and that Humayun himself also should proceed thither after the conquest of Kashmir. When Mirza Haidar arrived at Naushahra which is a well-known place, he entered that country with the concurrence of certain Kashmiris and conquered it, and on the 22nd of Rajab of this same year he gained possession of that country. Khwaja Kalan Beg had gone to Sialkot. When tidings reached the king that Shir Khan had crossed the river at Sultanpur and had arrived within thirty krohs of Lahor, Humayun, on the first of the month of Rajab in the aforesaid year, crossed the river of Lahor, and Mirza Kamran, after breaking his solemn vows, agreed for certain reasons to accompany Humayun as far as the neighbourhood of Bahira, and Khwaja Kalan Beg made forced marches from Sialkot, and joined Humayun's camp. Mirza Kamran together with Mirza 'Askari, separating from the king, proceeded in company with Khwaja Kalan Beg towards Kabul, while Humayun proceeded towards Sind. Mirza Hindal, and Mirza Yadgar Nasir also, after accompanying him for a few stages, left him, and after a few days returned, by the counsel of Amir Abul Baqa.
