Shams-l-mulk Cirdara, and Khwaja Haji, who had formerly been in the service of H.M. Jahanbani Jannat-Ashiyani came and infused spirit into them. Daulat Cak, the ruler of Kashmir, who had been blinded by Ghazi Khan, assembled there along with a number of Kashmir Sirdars such as Fath Cak, Hasibat and Nasibat, the nephews (brothers’ sons) of Daulat Cak, Lohar Zhankar, the sister’s son of Daulat Cak, Yusuf Cak, who also had been blinded by Ghazi Khan, but without effect, owing to the contrivance of the Kashmiris, and Muhammad Khan Makri, the father of ‘Ali Sher, who is at present in service; they proceeded via Punc and Khawara by secret passes, called in the Kashmiri language Akaldeo, and arrived at Bairahmula. From there they hastened to Nirpur, and having passed it they fought a battle above the village of Pattan with Ghazi Khan.
