The Memoirs of Bābur 911.2.1

911.2.1

Daryā Khān's son, Yār-i-ḥusain was then in Kacha-kot,[961] having drawn into his service, on the warrant of the _farmān_ taken from me in Kohāt, a few Afghāns of the Dilazāk (var. Dilah-zāk) and Yūsuf-zāī and also a few Jats and Gujūrs.[962] With these he beat the roads, taking toll with might and main. Hearing about Bāqī, he blocked the road, made the whole party [Sidenote: Fol. 160.] prisoner, killed Bāqī and took his wife. We ourselves had let Bāqī go without injuring him, but his own misdeeds rose up against him; his own acts defeated him. Leave thou to Fate the man who does thee wrong; For Fate is an avenging servitor. (_f. Attack on the Turkmān Hazāras._) That winter we just sat in the Chār-bāgh till snow had fallen once or twice. The Turkmān Hazāras, since we came into Kābul, had done a variety of insolent things and had robbed on the roads. We thought therefore of over-running them, went into the town to Aūlūgh Beg Mīrzā's house at the Būstān-sarāī, and thence rode out in the month of Sha`bān (Feb. 1506 AD.). We raided a few Hazāras at Janglīk, at the mouth of the Dara-i-khūsh (Happy-valley).[963] Some were in a cave near the valley-mouth, hiding perhaps. Shaikh Darwīsh Kūkūldāsh went incautiously right (_auq_) up to the cave-mouth, was shot (_aūqlāb_) in the nipple by a Hazāra inside and died there and then (_aūq_).[964]
