With the object of acquiring information about the history of Kabul, I used to read the Wákí’át-i Bábarí, which, all except four parts (juzw), was written with his (Bábar’s) own hand. To complete the work I copied these parts (ajzá) myself, and at the end I added some paragraphs in the Turkish language, to show that they were written by me. Although I was brought up in Hindustan, yet I am not deficient in reading and writing Turki.
