Sultan Vais Khan was the son of Shir Ali Khan; after the death of his father, he was in the service of his uncle, Shir Muhammad Khan. After a time he began to find this condition irksome, and therefore fled from the court, and took to the life of a robber [Kazak]. Many distinguished Moghul youths volunteered to follow him. Among this number was my grandfather Mir Sayyid Ali. I am the grandson of Vais Khan, on my mother's side. Amir Ghias-ud-Din Jamshidi; and, lastly, Ibn Ali Muhammad Koshji.
Sayyid Ali is my paternal grandfather, and this Amir Sayyid Ali was the son of Sayyid Ahmad Mirza, son of Amir Khudaidad. I think it is fitting in this place to give the history of Amir Sayyid Ali.
