The Rashīdī History 86.2

86.2

The same year that the Khán had left Ush and had given it over to Muhammad Haidar Mirzá, Omar Shaikh Mirzá, after the arrival of the Khán, dismissed Muhammad Haidar Mirzá, who went to Káshghar, where he was thrown into prison. The Khán was then in Moghulistán. When autumn [tirmáh] set in and the hostility of Mirzá Sultán Ahmad was directed against Táshkand, Omar Shaikh Mirzá invited the Khán to [come and help him in] Táshkand. He gave Sairám to the Khán. In the same way that he had given him Ush out of Andiján, so he gave him Sairám out of Táshkand. When the Khán turned towards Sairám, the Moghuls, who could not on any terms put up with towns and cultivated lands, having led astray the Khan's younger son, Sultán Ahmad Khán, fled back to Moghulistan. The Khán did not follow them, for in the family of the Moghul Khakans there remained no rivals [of the Khán] who were worth considering. So he let the people go back to Moghulistan, while he himself went on to Sairam and there passed the winter.
