The Book of Akbar 266.2

266.2

Jalalu-d-din Mahmud, who was in charge of Kabul, would not permit him to enter the fort and sent him a harsh message. That face-blackened one became suspicious and went off to Qara Bagh, under pretext of hunting; and then, passing by the Kutal-i-minar went to Baba Qucqar (i.e., Baba ram); then by the Daman-i-koh of Bihzadi and Lalandar, went quickly off to Ghaznin. Just then the victorious standards of His Majesty Jahanbani, who had gone towards Kabul to quell the disturbance of M. Kamran, arrived at Siah Sang. Bairam Khan was exalted by paying homage. His Majesty Jahanbani ordered that no one should enter the city, for he was going in pursuit of the Mirza, so that he might, once for all, free God's creatures from daily disturbance. But as his mind was not at ease about Haji Muhammad, the officers were unanimous that he should be secured about him and then set out after the Mirza. His Majesty came to the city and appointed Bairam Khan to look after Haji Muhammad and instructed him to act with dissimulation and by every contrivance possible to bring him in.
