[Nizamu-l Mulk, in concert with Fath Khan, son of Malik ’Ambar, took hostile measures, * * so Khan Jahan placed Lashkar Khan in charge of Burhanpur, and marched to Khirki to frustrate his attempts. * * Nizamu-l Mulk was in the fortress of Daulatabad. He made Hamid Khan, an Abyssinian slave, his commander-in-chief, and delivered over to him the general management of his State. Nizamu-l Mulk was thus kept under control like a bird in a cage ; out of doors by the Abyssinian, and indoors by his wife.
When Khan Jahan’s approach became known, Hamid Khan took three lacs of huns and went to meet him. The Abyssinian’s wiles and the temptation of the money, led Khan Jahan from the course of rectitude. He agreed to take the money, and to restore all the country of the Balaghat, as far as the fortress of Ahmadnagar, to Nizamu-l Mulk. Shame upon this faithless man, who forgot his duty and his loyalty, and bartered such a territory for three lacs of huns ! Khan Jahan wrote letters to the commandants of the various posts, ordering them to give up the places to the officers of Nizamu-l Mulk, and to return to Court.
One of these letters was sent to Sipahdar Khan, the commandant of Ahmadnagar. When Nizamu-l Mulk’s officers went there, the Khan said, Take possession of the country, for it belongs to you ; but I will not surrender the fort without a royal farman. The representatives of Nizamu-l Mulk did their utmost to persuade him, but it was all in vain ; he never swerved from his determination, and he busied himself in laying in provisions, and putting the fortress in a state of defence. Other commandants weakly surrendered the country of the Balaghat at the command of Khan Jahan, and repaired to Burhanpur.
At this time died, in the seventy-second year of his age, Khan-khanan, son of Bairam Khan, one of the greatest nobles of the reign of the late Emperor Akbar, who had rendered honourable services and gained important victories. * *
Mahabat Khan, when he turned off from the road to Thatta, sent his men to meet the convoy of treasure which was on its way to him, and either to bring it after him, or bear it out of the Imperial territory. He concealed himself for some time in the hills of the Rana’s country, and then sent persons to Shah Jahan to express his contrition. The Prince received his apologies kindly, called him to his presence, and treated him with great favour and kindness. * *
