And the poets recited, and still do recite, heart-ravishing poems on this topic. Then his Majesty detemined to remain for some time in the citadel of Jounpur. Then the Khan Zaman on hearing of his remaining there, sent Mirza Mirak (who afterwards became Razawi Khan) to intercede on his behalf with the Khan Khanan. He went along with Khan Zaman’s mother, and brought the message to the Court. So the Khan Khanan, in conjunction with Mir ‘Abd-ul Latif Qazwini, and Mulla ‘Abd-u-llah Makhdum-ul-Mulk, and Shaikh ‘Abd-un-Nabi Sadr a second time prayed for the pardon of the offences of the Khan Zaman, and was graciously accepted. And they sent Khwajah Jahan, and Mir Murtaza Sharifi, who is of the family of that paragon of the human race, the very eleventh Intelligence, Mir Sayyid Sharif Jurjani (sanctified be his grave !), and Makhdum-ul-Mulk to bring the Khan Zaman to repent of his rebellion, and to convey the glad tidings of his pardon to the ear of his soul. The Khan Zaman came to meet them, and, as was required, took an oath of allegiance, and then dismissed their Excellencies with marks of honour and respect.
