In fact, had not Qambar been vigilant, the men under ‘Ali Quli Khan would have blown down the wall by sheer force and have effected an entrance by way of that breach. ‘Ali Quli Khan was astonished at this degree of violence, and the people of the city by common consent despatched a message to ‘Ali Quli Khan saying, “On such and such a night let the besiegers make an attack on such and such a bastion, so that we may bring them into the fort by the help of nooses and scaling-ladders.” Accordingly this they did, and having admitted the soldiery of ‘Ali Quli Khan, Shaikh Habib Badaoni, who was one of the most notable men of the place, took his place at their head, and leading them to the bastion of the Princes, who were the relations of Shaikh Salim Chishti of Fathpur, set fire to it. On the morrow when the sun rose, the sombre-fated Qambar, wearing over his head a black blanket which was an emblem of his wretched fate, came out of the city. They seized him as one would a jackal and brought him in, and although ‘Ali Quli Khan spoke gently to him, saying “Bow thy head, that I may spare thy life,” that madman, fed on dog's brains gave him an abusive answer, so that he was sent to join the dogs of hell. His tomb is well-known in Badaon. He used to spread plentiful feasts and say (to his guests) “Eat! for wealth is the wealth of God, and life is the life of God, and Qambar Diwana is the cook of God.”
