79.22.5

In this year Sayyid ‘Abd-ullah Khan Choghan Begi, and Mirzadah ‘Ali Khan, who were of the most esteemed Amirs, died in Kashmir in the following circumstances. Sayyid ‘Abd-ullah Khan on the twelfth of the month Rabi‘ ul-awwal cooked some food in the name of the Soul of the Prophet (God bless him, and his family, and give them peace!), and gave some gold to the poor, and having sincerely repented of his sins went out hunting with Mirza Yusuf Khan, and caught a fever, and gave up his soul to the Beloved. And Mirzadah ‘Ali Khan, was killed one year before (P. 369) thus, on the night when Ya‘qub made a sudden attack on Muhammad Qasim Khan:— Alas! for the friends of spiritual insight, With whom we were but a short time together. Alas! for our friends of earthy composition, Who have left this dust-heap like the wind. Alas! that this blood-weeping eye of mine, Sees not now a trace of them.
