or in 955 H., God knows which, Khwaja Wais Sirwani, who had been commissioned to proceed against A'zam Humayun [fought a battle with the Niyazis in the vicinity of Dhanljot, and was defeated. A'zam Humayun having taken a strong force pursued him as far as Sihrind. Islem Shah sent a large army against the rebels, and at last they fought another battle in the same country, and on this occasion also the Niyazis suffered defeat, and some of their women were captured and sent to Gwaliar. Islem Shah dishonoured them, and made over to the harlots in his camp the banners and tents and all the tokens of dignity of the Niyazis who had fallen into his hands, and naming one Sa’id Khan, and another A'zam Humayun, and a third Shahbaz Khan, in this way he distributed titles. Moreover he gave them drums which they used to play at their doors at the time of the naubat, and the prostitutes used to give themselves airs and used to say Sag-i-falakam. This class used to come every Thursday evening, in accordance with the custom of the harlots of Hindustan, to pay their respects to Islem Shah, and the heralds and chamberlains used to call out with a loud voice, O King cast a gracious glance hither, for a certain Khan Niyazi, and Bahman Khan are here to invoke blessings on thee. This used to annoy the Afghans who were all of one tribe and of one mind, so that an intense disgust for him had sprung up in their hearts.
