The government of Badakhshan and Kunduz, which had been given to Mirza Hindal, was transferred to Mirza Sulaimen, and Humayun then returned towards Kabul. Kamran meanwhile mustered all the forces he could. Sher-afgan, who was allied with him, and Sher 'Ali, one of his officers, advanced to Zuhak and Ghorband, and took possession of the roads. Humayun crossed the river in the valley of Zuhak, and drove before him Sher 'Ali, who resisted to the best of his power. Humayun then safely crossed the Shaki, but Sher 'Ali again annoyed his rear until he arrived at Dih-Afghanan (a suburb of Kabul). Next day Sher-afgan Beg sallied forth at the head of all Kamran's forces, and a great battle was fought in the lines of Yurt-jalak. The leading forces of the Emperor were repulsed, but by the efforts of Mirza Hindal, Karracha Khan, and Haji Muhammad Khan, the enemy was eventually defeated. Sher-afgan Beg was taken prisoner, and when he was brought into the Emperor's presence he was put to death, through the exertions of the nobles. Many of Kamran's men fell on this day, and those who escaped the sword fled into the fort. Sher 'Ali, a man of undaunted courage, sallied forth every day and kept up the fighting with all his vigour. On one occasion Sher 'Ali and Haji Muhammad Khan encountered each other, and the Haji was wounded. - [Previous: 1.8.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.1.8.3) - [Next: 1.8.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.1.8.5) - [Up: 1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.1.8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.1.8.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.1.8.4) · Pramāṇa
