933.2.5

"Although the terror of the occurrence was too great for words, I have written all that happened, with detail and circumstance, because I said to myself, 'Don't let their hearts be kept in anxiety!' Thanks be to God! there may be other days yet to see! All has passed off well and for good; have no fear or anxiety in your minds." "This was written on Tuesday the 20th of the first Rabī`, I being then in the Chār-bāgh." When we were free from the anxiety of these occurrences, the above letter was written and sent to Kābul. (_g. Dealings with Ibrāhīm's family._) As this great crime had raised its head through that ill-omened old woman (_būā-i-bad-bakht_), she was given over to Yūnas-i-`alī and Khwājagī Asad who after taking her money and goods, slaves and slave-women (_dādūk_), made her over for careful watch to `Abdu'r-raḥīm _shaghāwal_.[1989] Her grandson, Ibrāhīm's son had been cared for with much respect and delicacy, but as the attempt on my life had been made, clearly, by that family, it did not seem advisable to keep him in Agra; he was joined therefore to Mullā Sarsān—who had come from Kāmrān on important business—and was started off with the Mullā to Kāmrān on Thursday Rabī` I. 29th (Jan. 3rd 1527 AD.).[1990] (_h. Humāyūn's campaign._)
