The Memoirs of Jahāngīr (Jahāngīrnāma) 10.2.7

10.2.7

I placed Mahabat Khan and ’Ali Beg Akbarshahi in command of a force to pursue Khusru wherever he should go. I also determined that if he went to Kabul, I would follow him, and not return till I had got him into my hands. If he should not stay in Kabul, but go off to Badakhshan and those parts, I would leave Mahabat Khan in Kabul, and follow him thither, lest he might ally himself to the Uzbeks, and bring disgrace to my throne. * * On the 28th my camp rested at Jahan, seven kos from Lahore. On that day Khusru came with a few followers to the banks of the Chinab. After his defeat, the opinions of those who escaped with him differed. The Afghans and the Hindustanis, who were mostly his oldest adherents, wished to turn back to Hindustan, and there raise disturbances. Husain Beg, whose wives and children and treasure were in the direction of Kabul, was in favour of going towards Kabul. When he resolved upon the latter course, the Afghans and Hindustanis separated from him. Upon reaching the Chinab, he wanted to cross at Shahpur, one of the regular ferries; but as he could not get boats, he went to the ferry of Sudhara. There they found one boat without boatmen, and another boat made of wood and straw. Before the defeat of Khusru, an order had been issued to all the jagirdars, road-keepers, and ferrymen of the Panjab, informing them of what had happened, and warning them to be careful. In consequence of this notice, the ferries and rivers were watched.
