61.3.4

In the meantime Islam Shah proceeded to Chunhar, and sent the treasure which was there to Gwaliar, and on his return, when he reached the township of Karah Khatampur, while engaged in playing chaugan with Jalal Khan Jilwani, who was one of the married Amirs of the Afghans, and had been an adherent of ‘Adil Khan, and a great object of suspicion to Islam by some treacherous device persuaded him to come to his camp, and cast him into chains together with his brother Khudadad, making them over to an Afghan who had a blood feud with them, and having put them to death under the cloke of vengeance, proceeded to Agra, [and from thence to Gwaliar which he had made his capital], and setting himself to slay and eradicate a party who were favourable to ‘Adil Khan, girded up his loins in enmity against them, and swept them one by one from the board of the world like so many pieces in the game of draughts or chess. Qutb Khan also took fright, and fled from the foot of the Kumaon hills to Lahore, taking refuge with Haibat Khan, to whom Shir Shah had given the title of A'zam Humayun. Haibat Khan in obedience to a summons from Islem Shah, sent Qutb Khan in chains to him. Islem Shah sent him together with Shahbaz Khan Luhani, who was brother-in-law to Shir Shah, and Barmazid Kor who was the Dajjal of that sect, and the Hajjaj of his age, and thirteen or fourteen other Amirs and Amirs’ sons, to the fortress of Gwaliar, where most of them quitted the body in imprisonment.
