899.3.6

Khūb-nigār Khānīm was his third daughter. Her they gave to Muḥammad Ḥusain _Kūrkān Dūghlāt_ (899 AH.). She had one son and one daughter by him. `Ubaid Khān (_Aūzbeg_) took the daughter (Ḥabība).[146] When I captured Samarkand and Bukhārā (917 AH.-1511 AD.), she stayed behind,[147] and when her paternal uncle, Sayyid Muḥammad _Dūghlāt_ came as Sl. Sa`īd Khān's envoy to me in Samarkand, she joined him and with him went to Kāshghar where (her cousin), Sl. Sa`īd Khān took her. Khūb-nigār's son was Ḥaidar Mīrzā.[148] He was in my service for three or four years after the Aūzbegs slew his father, then (918 AH.-1512 AD.) asked leave to go to Kāshghar to the presence of Sl. Sa`īd Khān. "Everything goes back to its source. Pure gold, or silver or tin."[149] People say he now lives lawfully (_tā'ib_) and has found the right way (_ṯarīqā_).[150] He has a hand deft in everything, penmanship and painting, and in making arrows and arrow-barbs [Sidenote: Fol. 11b.] and string-grips; moreover he is a born poet and in a petition written to me, even his style is not bad.[151]
