The Book of Akbar 214: Return of his Majesty Jahanbani Jannat-ashiyani from Persia, and the coming of his Majesty the Shahinshah from Qandahar to Kabul.

214

When the grateful [lit. shade-scattering] report of the approach of his Majesty Jahanbani became vivid, and the news of his army was spread in Kabul and Qandahar, the blowing of these spring-breezes of victory caused the hope-buds of expectants to open and a current to set in the resolution-stream of the irresolute.
Verse.
Eternal bounty from measureless store Cast to the city a report of his advent. The hope-field of the hopeless smiled, The success-garden of the success-less grew verdant.
The loud reverberation overset M. Kamran, and as the season of awakening and of contrition was past, he advanced further in evil ways, and gave way to wicked thoughts. In the first place he sent Khizr Khan Hazara’s brother and Qurban Qarawalbegi (head of the vanguard) to bring the nursling of light, to wit, the Shahinshah from Qandahar to Kabul. When they arrived M. ‘Askari took counsel with his associates about sending his Majesty. All who were of sound sense said it was not right to send him and that when his Majesty Jahanbani Jannat-ashiyani approached the proper thing to do was to send to him with all reverence the child of dominion so that by means of this fair nosegay of fortune’s parterre he might obtain for himself forgiveness of his offences. Some others said it was proper to send him to M. Kamran so as not to lose his favour, for, as regarded the other suggestion, it was too late now for a reconciliation with his Majesty Jahanbani. In the end the Mirza put aside the sound advice and sent his Majesty Shahinshah in the depth of winter, and in snow and ice to Kabul. His sister Bakhshi Banu Begam was sent with him, and also Shamsu-d-din of Ghazni who had received the title of Atka Khan, Maham Anaga, mother of Adham Khan, Jiji Anaga, mother of M. ‘Aziz Kokaltash and a number of other servants. In order that they might not be recognised, the nursling of light was called Mirak on this journey, and his sister Bija. When they arrived at Qilat (Kelat-i-Ghilzai) they put up at night in the house of a Hazara. Owing to the radiance (far) and majesty which were manifest on his Majesty's forehead, men recognised him as soon as they saw him, and in the morning there rose to the lips of the master of the house the statement that the prince had been brought there. As soon as Khizr Khan's brother heard this remark he set off at once, and hurried on to Ghazni. The attendants beheld, hour by hour, and moment by moment, notes of greatness in the prince from his earliest years and marvelled at the Divine Creation while watching the wondrous lights of his development. Among them was this that when they had marched from Ghaznin and had come to their halting-place, the lamp in the house went out and the place was in darkness. His Majesty, the essence of whose nature had affinity with light, fell a-weeping from horror of the darkness and though Anagas and nurses did their best they could not succeed in soothing him. But as soon as they brought a lamp his heart grew pacified, and the lights of joy showed themselves in his cheeks. This was a clear proof of light-augmenting and darkness-dispelling, both internally and externally. When his Majesty the Shahinshah came to Kabul from Qandahar, M. Kamran brought that nursling of fortune's garden to the house of the cupola of chastity Khanzada Begam, sister of her Majesty Giti-sitani Firdus-makani. Next day he held a grand assembly in the Shahr-ara garden and did homage to his Majesty.
