1.4.1
When Mirza Kamran returned to Lahore from Kandahar, and heard of the rebellion of Mirza Hindal, of the difficulties of the Emperor, and of the growing strength of Sher Khan, he formed the design of securing Agra. Mirza Hindal proceeded to Dehli, and there Fakhr 'Ali and Mirza Yadgar Nasir shut themselves up in the fortress, and in spite of all his efforts, Hindal was unable to take the city. So when Mirza Kamran came near to Dehli, Mirza Hindal felt himself constrained to join him. Fakhr 'Ali came out on the top of the fortress, and seeing Mirza Kamran, he told him that Mirza Yadgar Nasir would not surrender Dehli, so the best thing he could do would be to go on to Agra, and if he obtained possession of that city, Dehli would be given up to him. Mirza Kamran consequently marched on towards Agra, and when he approached that city, Mirza Hindal separated from him, and went away in the direction of Alwar.
