These places Mirzá Abá Bakr had destroyed, and they had remained for some time in ruins, but Bábáják Sultán restored them. He lives there to the present day. Thence, taking leave, \[Aiman Khwája\] proceeded to Káshghar, and when the Khán heard he was coming, his joy knew no bounds; a new delight sprang up in his heart. In accordance with his frame of mind, he began to sing: "\*Har dam az in bdgh bari mirasad: Taza taraz taza tari mirasad.\*" (At that time I often heard the Khan sing this song.) \[Couplet\] .... The Khan did all that was possible to make the reception of Aiman Khwaja Sultan a splendid one, and in his affection, honoured him so far as to go out himself and receive him \[istikhbal\]. He treated him as a brother in his domestic life \[buyutat\]. All that winter was spent in entertainments and banquets, and with the setting in of spring, princely feasts were celebrated in honour of Aiman Khwaja Khan. The Khan selected men \[as retainers\] for him from among all the Moghul tribes. Sarik Mirza, a Dughlat and nephew of Mir Jabar Birdi, was appointed to be his Ulusbeg. The greatest of his Amirs of the right wing \[baranghar\], namely, Munka Beg (who has been mentioned in the battles of Kashghar), Nazar Mirza, brother to Mir Ayub Begjik, and others, together with a select band chosen from among the various tribes and Ulus of the Moghuls, were sent to Aksu \[with Aiman Khwaja\].
