Mahdī Khwāja arrived bringing Fatḥ Khān \_Sarwānī\_ from Humāyūn's presence, they having parted from him in Dilmāū. I looked with favour on Fatḥ Khān, gave him the \_parganas\_ that had been his father \`Aẕam-humāyūn's, and other lands also, one \_pargana\_ given being worth a \_krūr\_ and 60 \_laks\_.\[1964\] In Hindūstān they give permanent titles \[\_muqarrarī khiṯāblār\_\] to highly-favoured amīrs, one such being \`Aẕam-humāyūn (\_August Might\_), one Khān-i-jahān (Khan-of-the-world), another \[Sidenote: Fol. 303.\] Khān-i-khānān (Khān-of-khāns). Fatḥ Khān's father's title was \`Aẕam-humāyūn but I set this aside because on account of Humāyūn it was not seemly for any person to bear it, and I gave Fatḥ Khān \_Sarwānī\_ the title of Khān-i-jahān. (\_November 14th\_) On Wednesday the 8th of Ṣafar\[1965\] awnings were set up (in the Chār-bāgh) at the edge of the large tank beyond the tamarind-trees, and an entertainment was prepared there. We invited Fatḥ Khān \_Sarwānī\_ to a wine-party, gave him wine, bestowed on him a turban and head-to-foot of my own wearing, uplifted his head with kindness and favour\[1966\] and allowed him to go to his own districts. It was arranged for his son Maḥmūd to remain always in waiting. (\_d. Various military matters.\_)
