Firishta's History (Gulshan-i Ibrāhīmī) 67.5.1

67.5.1

"I am submissive to thee, be thou submissive to me." The Sheikh replied, that if Mahomed Shah Ghazy would, like his father, promote the observance of the holy ordinances, by discouraging vice, and abstaining from wine in public, and by permitting the judges to execute the laws against those persons who offended in these instances, no one would be dearer to him. He also sent the following verse, written in his own hand: "While I live I would do nought but good. "I can have no views but loyalty and attachment. "Even to those who have injured me, "If in my power, I would for evil return good." Mahomed Shah was so much pleased with the appellation of Ghazy, given him by the Sheikh, that he commanded it to be hereafter added to his titles.
