Mirza Aba Bakr had taken many of the upper [baladast] Hazara of Badakhshan, and the lower [payan] side, which is flat country, he had joined on to the Uzbeg states, which lie on the borders of this territory. But the best of the country that was left between these [two territories] was under the sway of Shah Razi-ud-Din, the Chiragh Kush, and his Mulahida. Mirza Khan encountered many difficulties and hardships in Badakhshan. When I came to him, he gave me a warm and affectionate welcome. Eighteen days before my arrival, Sultan Said Khan had come to visit him, [had stayed a short time] and then left [for Kabul], as will be presently related. I remained one year in the service of Mirza Khan. The rest of my adventures will be told after the account of the Khan's journey to Kabul.
