Iskandar Khan received the title of Khan ‘Aalam, and Maulana Pir Muhammad Shirwani was styled Nasir-al-mulk, and attached to the royal person. Qiya Khan was nominated to the charge of the Agra territories. The dominion-adorning mind of the Shahinshah sent the officers of the court of the Sultanate to every quarter, and so gave order and tranquillity to the pleasant lands of India. At this time it came to H.M.’s ears that Haji Khan, a slave of Sher Khan Afghan, who was distinguished for courage, prudence, and skill in collecting troops, was acting independently in Alwar, and also that the father and the wife of the ill-fated Hemi, and his goods and chattels were in that Sarkar. Nasir-al-mulk was appointed to that service along with a number of trusty and devoted followers. Haji Khan was frightened by the strength of the victorious army and fled before its arrival, and Alwar and the whole of Sarkar Mewat came into the possession of the imperial servants. From there they proceeded to Deoti Macari, where was the residence and family of Hemi.

The Rana who was a great Zamindar and was son of the Rana who had contended with H.M. Geti Sitani Firdaus Makani, as has been described, and had been defeated by him, demanded things from him and put him to intolerable troubles. Of necessity a great battle took place between him and the Rana near Ajmir. Haji Khan and Muzaffar Khan Shirwani who was his Vakil, did great actions in this engagement, and at last the Rana was defeated because he was uplifted by the number of his troops. Haji Khan took possession of Ajmir, Nagor, and the surrounding country. When the success of Haji Khan came to the royal hearing, Muhammad Qasim Khan of Nishapur, Saiyid Mahmud Barha, Shah Quli Khan Mahram, Tahir Khan Khurram Sultan and a number of others were appointed to put him down.
