10.2.6

He would not believe the report, but expressed his incredulity that an army such as he had seen could have been vanquished by so small and unprepared a force as that of Shaikh Farid. But when the litter of Khusru was brought in attended by two eunuchs, he then believed, and alighting from his horse, he placed his head at my feet, and offered his congratulations. Shaikh Farid had acted in this battle with the greatest zeal and fidelity. He placed the Saiyids of Barha, the heroes of the age, in the advance, and they fought most bravely. Saif Khan, son of Saiyid Mahmud Khan, the chief of the tribe, greatly distinguished himself, and received eighteen wounds. Saiyid Jalal, another of the tribe, received an arrow in the head, and died in a few days. The Saiyids of Barha in this action did not exceed fifty or sixty in number. These Saiyids repulsed the attack of 1000 horse and 500 Badakhshis, and were cut to pieces. Saiyid Kamal, with his brothers, was sent to support the advanced force, and he attacked the enemy vigorously in flank. The right wing, shouting, “Long live the King!” bore down, and the enemy, stricken with panic, broke and fled in all directions. Nearly 400 of the enemy were killed, and Khusru’s chest of jewels and trinkets, which he always carried with him, was captured. * *
