And on the sixth of the month Rajab, which is the anniversary of the decease of Hazrat (P. 139) Khwajah (may God sanctify his glorious tomb!) the Emperor arrived at Ajmír. And Sultan Khwajah, son of Khwajah Khawand Mahmud he appointed Mir Hájí, and sent a sum of six lacs of rupees, in money and goods, to be distributed among the deserving people of Mecca and Madina, and for building a Khánaqáh in the sacred precincts. When the Emperor dismissed Sultan Khwajah on his road to the two Sacred Cities, he himself, with bare head and feet, and dressed in the Ihrám, and in every respect clothed like a pilgrim, and having shorn his head a little, went a little distance in his train. At this a cry broke forth from the multitude, and he showed himself moved by their devotion. And Qutb-ud-din Muhammad Khan and Qulij Khán, and A'saf Khan were appointed to escort Sultan Khwajah, with orders that they should part from the caravan at Kokandah, and should scour the country of the Ráná, and following his track wherever they should hear news of him, should bring destruction on him. And contemporaneously with these events news arrived, that Shah Tahmasp had passed from the world, and that Shah Isma'il II had succeeded him. And they found this mnemosynon for the date:— “It is the beginning of Reign and Victory, and Conquest.”
