He drew a very strong \[Sidenote: Fol. 167.\] bow and shot a first-rate shaft; people say his cross-bow (\_kamān-i-guroha\_) may have been 40 \_bātmāns\_.\[1019\] He himself was very brave but he had no luck in war; he was beaten wherever he fought. He and his younger brother Ibn-i-ḥusain Mīrzā were defeated at Rabāṯ-i-dūzd (var. Dudūr) by Tīmūr Sl. and \`Ubaid Sl. leading Shaibāq Khān's advance (913 AH.?), but he had done good things there.\[1020\] In Dāmghān he and Muḥammad-i-zamān Mīrzā\[1021\] fell into the hands of Shaibāq Khān who, killing neither, let both go free. Farīdūn-i-ḥusain Mīrzā went later on to Qalāt\[1022\] where Shāh Muḥammad \_Diwāna\_ had made himself fast; there when the Aūzbegs took the place, he was captured and killed. The three sons last-named were by Mīnglī Bībī Āghācha, Sl. Ḥusain Mīrzā's Aūzbeg mistress. Ḥaidar Mīrzā was another; his mother Payānda-sulṯān Begīm was a daughter of Sl. Abū-sa\`īd Mīrzā. Ḥaidar Mīrzā was Governor of Balkh and Mashhad for some time during his father's life. For him his father, when besieging Ḥiṣār (901 AH.) took (Bega Begīm) a daughter of Sl. Maḥmūd Mīrzā and Khān-zāda Begīm; this done, he rose from before Ḥiṣār. One daughter only\[1023\] was born of that marriage; she was named Shād (Joy) Begīm and given to \`Ādil Sl.\[1024\] when she came to Kābul later on. Ḥaidar Mīrzā departed from the world in his father's \[Sidenote: Fol. 167b.\] life-time. - [Previous: 911.4.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.911.4.2) - [Next: 911.4.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.911.4.4) - [Up: 911.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.911.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.911.4.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.911.4.3) · Pramāṇa
