175.2.4

He saw that what had happened was due to his good fortune, and was apprehensive lest if he went on further, his affairs would retrograde. He was extremely frightened about the combination which he heard was making progress in Lahor. Meanwhile the seditious sadr (mār-i-pur-ghadar) who added vile malice to natural baseness, arrived. Sher Khan whose centre was pivoted in craft, warmly embraced him, and was a thousand times emboldened by the good news of disunion. He gave him an answer in accordance with the Mirza’s requests. That wretch (the Sadr) instigated him to make a hostile advance, and held out prospects of desertion. Sher Khan sent a crafty fellow along with him to ascertain the real state of affairs and then return. M. Kamran received Sher Khan’s ambassador in the garden at Lahor, and held a feast on that day. He also by entreaties induced his Majesty Jahanbani to come there. That crude, short-sighted Mirza again sent the same wretch (his sadr) to Sher Khan. On this occasion the betrayer of his salt came to the bank of the Sultanpur river, and brought forward disloyal proposals and encouraged Sher Khan to cross the river. Thereupon Muzaffar Turkman, who was stationed on outpost duty near the Sultanpur river, came and reported to his Majesty that the enemy had crossed the river (the Bias) and killed his brother's son Junaid Beg, who from his qualities of mind and body was a persona grata at Court.
