He sent Jogi Khan, his trusted servant, to Raja Bakhu who was twelve kos from Maciwara and asked for help. The Raja received the messenger kindly and promised his protection. One day when Salim Khan had crossed the Maciwara river, the Mirza left Yusuf aftabci in his (Kamran’s) sleeping suit and arranged with Baba Sa‘id to go on for a long time reciting something so that it might be supposed the Mirza was lying down. He himself changed his clothes and put a veil over his face and then went out by the enclosed side and hastened to the refuge which had been agreed upon. The Raja gave him a proper reception and when it was reported that an army was coming to search for him, sent him on to the Raja of Kahlur whose was the safest place in the neighbourhood. He too, from fear of enemies, sent the Mirza on, giving him a guide to Jammu. But the Raja of Jammu from the cautiousness of a landholder, would not allow him to enter his territory. Dismayed and confused, the Mirza went off to Mankot. There he was almost captured, and again changing his apparel, he went on, in woman’s garb, towards Kabul, in the company of an Afghan horse-dealer. Meditating evil, he went to Sl. Adam Gakhar thinking that perhaps he might induce the Gakhar tribe to act with him and to do things which ought not to be done. But Sl. Adam approved of loyalty. He kept the Mirza, by various pretexts, under surveillance and sent to represent the matter at the sublime Court.
