Bābā \`Alī the Lord of the Gate was another. First, \`Alī-sher Beg showed him favour; next, because of his courage, the Mīrzā took him into service, made him Lord of the Gate, and promoted him to be a beg. One of his sons is serving me now (\_circa\_ 934 AH.), that Yūnas of \`Alī who is a beg, a confidant, and of my household. He will often be mentioned.\[1100\] Badru'd-dīn (Full-moon of the Faith) was another. He had been in the service of Sl. Abū-sa\`īd Mīrzā's Chief Justice Mīrak \`Abdu'r-raḥīm; it is said he was very nimble and sure-footed, a man who could leap over seven horses at once. He and Bābā \`Alī were close companions. Ḥasan of \`Alī \_Jalāīr\_ was another. His original name was Ḥusain \_Jalāīr\_ but he came to be called \`Alī's Ḥasan.\[1101\] His father \`Alī \_Jalāīr\_ must have been favoured and made a beg by Bābur Mīrzā; no man was greater later on when Yādgār-i-muḥammad M. took Herī. Ḥasan-i-\`alī was Sl. Ḥusain Mīrzā's \_Qūsh-begī\_.\[1102\] He made T̤ufailī (Uninvited-guest) his pen-name; wrote good odes and was the Master of this art in his day. He wrote odes on my name when he came to my presence at the time I took Samarkand in 917 AH. (1511 AD.). Impudent (\_bī bāk\_) and \[Sidenote: Fol. 175.\] prodigal he was, a keeper of catamites, a constant dicer and draught-player.
