Sikandar then proceeded towards the Siwālik hills, while Sikandar Khān Üzbak turned towards Dihlī, and the royal camp went by way of Samāna in the direction of the capital of Hindūstān, and a party of the Afghāns who were in Dihlī, fled hot foot for their lives, and were scattered on all sides like a flock of sparrows into whose midst a stone has fallen, and every one was saying to himself, "He who escapes with his head, verily he is fortunate," and the hidden meaning of the words "the day "When man shall flee from his brother and his mother and his father and his spouse and his sons" became evident. Shah Abu-l-Ma'ali was detailed to pursue Sikandar, and in the month of Ramazan the blessed, in the year 962 H. the city of Dihli became the seat of the imperial glory and majesty, and most of the regions of Hindustan for the second time enjoyed the honour of the khutbah and sikkah of Humayun. No king before this time had ever been so fortunate as to attain to the glory of imperial power a second time, after having suffered defeat; whereas in this case the power of God whose glory is supreme was plainly shewed. And in this year Humayun apportioned the greater part of his territories among his faithful adherents, and vowed the pargana of Mustafaabad, the revenue of which reached the sum of thirty or forty laks of tankas, as a votive offering to the Spirit the author of victories, the guardian of prophecy on him and on his family be blessings without end.
