Beveridge) 907.1.4 - **Language:** English ### [907.1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.907.1.4) In Dīzak just then was Ḥāfiẓ Muḥ. \_Dūldāī's\_ son, T̤āhir. There, in Dīzak, were fat meats, loaves of fine flour, plenty of sweet melons and abundance of excellent grapes. From what privation we came to such plenty! From what stress to what repose! From fear and hunger rest we won (\_amānī tāptūq\_); A fresh world's new-born life we won (\_jahānī tāptūq\_). From out our minds, death's dread was chased \[Sidenote: Fol. 96.\] (\_rafa\` būldī\_); From our men the hunger-pang kept back (\_dafa\` būldī\_).\[576\] Never in all our lives had we felt such relief! never in the whole course of them have we appreciated security and plenty so highly. Joy is best and more delightful when it follows sorrow, ease after toil. I have been transported four or five times from toil to rest and from hardship to ease.\[577\] This was the first. We were set free from the affliction of such a foe and from the pangs of hunger and had reached the repose of security and the relief of abundance. (\_c. Bābur in Dikh-kat.\_) After three or four days of rest in Dīzak, we set out for Aūrā-tīpā. Pashāghar is a little\[578\] off the road but, as we had occupied it for some time (904 AH.), we made an excursion to it in passing by. In Pashāghar we chanced on one of Khānīm's old servants, a teacher\[579\] who had been left behind in Samarkand from want of a mount. We saw one another and on questioning her, I found she had come there on foot. - [Previous: 907.1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.907.1.3) - [Next: 907.1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.907.1.5) - [Up: 907.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.907.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.907.1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.907.1.4) · Pramāṇa
