Tarikh-i Hindi 17.4

17.4

At last the great luminary of the world set in the west, and with the approach of night darkness spread over the earth; yet up to this time no army came to reinforce Amiru-l umara, all through the connivance of Nizamu-l Mulk, who, with the utmost animosity towards the followers of Islam, always held out encouragement to infidels and tyrants. It is said that five thousand men on the side of Amiru-l umara met with the honour of martyrdom, among whom were Muzaffar Khan, his brother, Mir Kallu, 'Ali Hamid Khan, Yadgar Khan, Lodi Khan, and other nobles. In the evening Amiru-l umara, with a few of his men, returned from the field to his tent, wounded and sorrowful. The next day he set in array a new army, with the intention of hazarding another battle, and defeating Nadir Shah, who had trembled at the courage displayed. But the Amir fell, and drank the cup of martyrdom.
