79.17.6

Consequently the Emperor wrote a farman in haste, and appointed the Khan Khanan to Gujrat, and sent 'Azud-ud-daulat from the Court to Malwah and Raisin to look after the affairs of the Dak'hin, and to help Khan-i-'Azam and Shihab-ud-din Ahmad Khan, who had been ordered to conquer the Dak'hin. Then he set off in person on the 10th of the month for the Punjab, and saw the new moon of Shawwal in Dihli. When at the station of Panipat he gave a jagir in the environs of Lak'hnou to Mir Abu-l-Ghais of Bokhara, and dismissed him thither. On the 19th of this month he arrived at the river Satlaj. And in those days, in the course of a week more or less, Shaikh Jamal Bakhtiyar, and Khwajah Isma'il, grandson of Shaikh Islam, who was possessed of the most perfect personal beauty, by reason of perpetual wine drinking and continual debauchery, passed from this transitory world to the eternal habitation: the one at Lodhiyanah, and the other at T'hanesar: and this enigma was invented to give the date: — Hemistich. "The beautiful Rose left the Garden of the World."
