On the same night Kamran quitted Kabul, and fled by way of Bini Hisar to Ghazni. Being informed of his flight, the Emperor sent Mirza Hindal in pursuit. The Emperor then entered Kabul, and at night the citizens, in the extreme of joy, illuminated the whole city with lamps. On his entering the palace, Her Highness the Begam brought the young prince Jalalu-d din Muhammad Akbar to his father's presence. This sight lighted up the heart of the Emperor with joy, and he offered up his thanksgivings for the reunion. The victory was accomplished on the 10th Ramazan, 953 H., when the prince was four years two months and five days old. Some place the event in the year 952; but God knows the truth. After this a person was sent to bring up the forces which were in Kandahar. Mirza Yadgar Nasir came to Kabul in attendance upon the Empress Maryam Makani Begam. Great feasts were then held, and the ceremony of circumcising the young prince was performed. The remainder of that year the Emperor spent in enjoyment at Kabul. When Kamran reached Ghazni, he could not get admission into the city, so he went off into the Hazara. Mirza Ulugh Beg was sent to take the government of Zamin-dawar, and Kamran, finding it impossible to remain in that country, went to Bakhar, to Shah Husain Arghun, who gave him his daughter in marriage and assisted him.
