Beveridge) 903.5.3 - **Language:** English ### [903.5.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.5.3) Khusrau Shāh had already invited and brought from Ḥiṣār, Bāī-sunghar Mīrzā; to him had gone Aūlūgh Beg Mīrzā's son,\[431\] Mīrān-shāh Mīrzā who, having gone amongst the Hazāra in rebellion against his father, had been unable to remain amongst them because of his own immoderate acts. Some short-sighted persons were themselves ready to kill these three (Tīmūrid) Mīrzās and to read Khusrau Shāh's name in the \_khuṯba\_ but he himself did not think this combination desirable. The ungrateful \[Sidenote: Fol. 58b.\] manikin however, for the sake of gain in this five days' fleeting world,—it was not true to him nor will it be true to any man soever,—seized that Sl. Mas\`ūd Mīrzā whom he had seen grow up in his charge from childhood, whose guardian he had been, and blinded him with the lancet. Some of the Mīrzā's foster-brethren and friends of affection and old servants took him to Kesh intending to convey him to his (half)-brother Sl. \`Alī Mīrzā in Samarkand but as that party also (\_i.e.\_ \`Alī's) became threatening, they fled with him, crossed the river at the Aūbāj ferry and went to Sl. Ḥusain Mīrzā. A hundred thousand curses light on him who planned and did a deed so horrible! Up to the very verge of Resurrection, let him who hears of this act of Khusrau Shāh, curse him; and may he who hearing, curses not, know cursing equally deserved! - [Previous: 903.5.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.5.2) - [Next: 903.5.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.5.4) - [Up: 903.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.5.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.5.3) · Pramāṇa
