Then Mirza Sulaiman before Mirza Muhammad Hakim arrived at Qarabagh came by forced marches from Kabul with a considerable force, and lay in ambush in that neighbourhood. It happened that some of the soldiers of Mirza Sulaiman met with the men of Mirza Muhammad Hakim, and gave him information of this. So Mirza Muhammad Hakim fled, and when he got to Ghorband he became bewildered and fell by mistake into the road to the Hindukush mountain. Khwajah Hasan wished to bring him to Pir Muhammad Khan Uzbek, governor of Balkh, in order to ask his assistance.

Khwajah Hasan with his party arrived at Balkh, and after sometime he became lost, and his life became bitter (Talkh) to him: — "My heart is gone, my soul is fled, my religion lost, O Hasan! worse than this what can I become!"
