The Book of Akbar 114: Amir Barkal.

114

Amir Barkal was very high-minded and when his noble father, Amir Ailangar Nuyan left this comfortless world, in the time of Tarmashīrīn Khan, son of Dava Khan, he was the only surviving son. As he was always occupied with the care of his own soul, he had no leisure for other things and so, abstaining from the companionship of Khans, he transferred the paternal avocations to his cousins and remained independent in Kesh. He was assiduous in seeking God’s favour and in acquiring virtues. He spent his life in that neighbourhood and provided for his daily sustenance from the various estates and villages which belonged to his old possessions and was content therewith till he went to the holy kingdom and the eternal country.
