Mirza Shah Husain thinking this an opportunity not to be lost, in accordance with a requisition sent thirty boats and three hundred camels, and Humayun crossed the river Indus. At that time Mirza Kamran had taken Qandahar from Mirza Hindal and had left it in charge of Mirza ‘Askari, and having given Ghaznin to Mirza Hindal had read the Khutbah in his own name. After some time, however, he changed that also. Mirza Hindal having given up all royal dignity in Kabul used to live like a darwesh, and Mirza Kamran yielding to the instigation of Mirza Shah Husain wrote to Mirza ‘Askari saying, “Seize the road by which the Padshah will proceed and take him prisoner in any way you can contrive.” Accordingly when he arrived at the camp of Shal Mastang Mirza ‘Askari marched by forced marches from Qandahar and sent Chuli Bahadur Uzbek to reconnoitre. He, however, went straight off and informed Bairam Khan, whose camp he reached at midnight, and Bairam Khan went with all haste behind the royal tent and represented the state of affairs. Accordingly he gave up all idea of Qandahar and Kabul, and in opposition to his brothers, uttering the formula of separation, took the road to ‘Iraq, accompanied by twenty-two men, among whom were Bairam Khan and Khwaja Mu'azzam.
