78.3.3

Then the Begum Mah Jujak taking the Prince with her went with the whole of the forces of Kabul to Jalalabad intending to offer resistance. Mun‘im Khan and all of the auxiliary Amirs, among whose number were Muhammad Quli Khan Barlas and Hasan Khan brother of Shihab Khan, on the first attack met with a severe repulse, and giving his retinue to the wind turned his face towards the Court in such a plight as may no one see [again] ! After this victory the Begum on a suspicion of treachery sent Shah Wali to the world of non-existence : — " A partridge eat an ant, a hawk came and asked satisfaction of the partridge, Afterwards an eagle came, and did the same by the hawk, A hunter shot an arrow at him, and took his life, The rolling sphere one day brings down dust on the hunter.”
