I have brought to your guilty cousin (biradar), what is your pleasure?" His Majesty took him in his arms and spoke kindly to him. After that he left it to his option to go or stay. The Khan Mirza was so ashamed that he could not make up his mind to remain. He took leave and went to Qandahar. This happened in the same year. Next year he (Babar) proceeded to Qandahar and fought a great battle with Shah Beg, son of Zu-n-nun Arghun and Muhammad Muqim his younger brother. The Khan did good service here. His Majesty presented Qandahar to Nasir Mirza, the younger brother of Jahangir Mirza and returned to Kabul. He permitted Shah Begum and Khan Mirza to proceed to Badakhshan. After many adventures Khan Mirza put Zubair Raghi to death and became confirmed in the dominion of Badakhshan. He always retained his loyalty (to Babar). In 916 (early in December 1510) an express brought the news that Shaibani Khan was killed and that it was proper for Babar to move in that direction. Accordingly in Shawwal, he proceeded there and fought great battles with the Uzbegs. He was ever victorious and took Samarqand for the third time, in 917 (Oct. 1511). He ruled there for eight months but in Safar 918 (April 1512) he had a great battle at Kul Malik with ‘Ubaidu-l-lah Khan. Though he had won the victory, suddenly by the jugglery of the heavens, he sustained a defeat and proceeded to Hisar.
