(_Turkī_) Nor power to go was mine, nor power to stay; I was just what you made me, o thief of my heart. (_s. Sl. `Alī Mīrzā's quarrels with the Tarkhāns._) In this same year, Sl. `Alī Mīrzā fell out with Muḥammad Mazīd Tarkhān for the following reasons;—The Tarkhāns had risen to over-much predominance and honour; Bāqī had taken the whole revenue of the Bukhārā Government and gave not a [Sidenote: Fol. 76b.] half-penny (_dāng_)[510] to any-one else; Muḥammad Mazīd, for his part, had control in Samarkand and took all its districts for his sons and dependants; a small sum only excepted, fixed by them, not a farthing (_fils_) from the town reached the Mīrzā by any channel. Sl. `Alī Mīrzā was a grown man; how was he to tolerate such conduct as theirs? He and some of his household formed a design against Muḥ. Mazīd Tarkhān; the latter came to know of it and left the town with all his following and with whatever begs and other persons were in sympathy with him,[511] such as Sl. Ḥusain _Arghūn_, Pīr Aḥmad, Aūzūn Ḥasan's younger brother, Khwāja Ḥusain, Qarā _Barlās_, Ṣāliḥ Muḥammad[512] and some other begs and braves.
