This success of Amir Timur gave Amir Husain an opportunity to re-assemble his troops, and having done so, he stood his ground. \[Verses\] : From the victory of this host-crushing Sháh The army received new life into its body. Amir Timur sent his servant Tibán Bahádur to Amir Husain, saying: "It is time for the Amirs to advance. Let us, together, make such a charge that we may cause an earthquake among the proud princes of the enemy: so that they may lose all power to resist us and all strength to oppose us." But in proportion as the power of Amir Timur rose, so did the star of felicity of Amir Husain begin to decline, and his happiness to approach the evening of distress, according to the text, "God doth not work any change in the people, until they have altered their own individual selves." During this period, his nature underwent a great change; he lost his former stability of character, and began to adopt evil habits and practise evil deeds. \[Thus\] when Tábán Bahádur came before him, Amir Husain abused him much in words, and then struck him so violently that he fell to the ground. - [Previous: 37.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.37.6) - [Next: 37.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.37.8) - [Up: 37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.37) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.37.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.37.7) · Pramāṇa
