29.1.3

Qasim K., Lashkar K., Iradat K., Fida’i K., and other servants, to the number of 8,000 horse, were appointed to Asaf K.’s force. Baqir K., Nuru-d-din Quli, Ibrahim Husain Kashghari, and others, to the number of 8,000 horse, were appointed to support Abu-l-Hasan. Nawāzish K., ‘Abdu-l-‘Aziz K., ‘Azizu-llah, and many of the Barha and Amroha Sayyids, were ordered to accompany ‘Abdu-llah. In this army 10,000 horse were enrolled. Sundar had arranged the army of ruin and put forward the foot of shamelessness. At this time I sent my special quiver by Zabar-dast K., Master of Ceremonies, to ‘Abdu-llah K., that it might be the means of animating his zeal. When the encounter of the two sides took place, that black-faced one to all eternity, in whom the tendency to rebellion and ingratitude was innate, taking to flight, joined the rebels. ‘Abdu-l-‘Aziz K., the son of the Khan Dauran, God knows whether knowingly or not, went off with him. Nawazish K., Zabar-dast K., and Shir-hamla, who were in the corps of that shameless one (‘Abdu-llah K.), planted firmly the foot of courage, and were not disturbed at his going. As the aid of Almighty God is ever near this suppliant, at this crisis, when a leader of the army such as ‘Abdu-llah K. threw 10,000 cavalry into confusion and joined the enemy, and there was nearly a great disaster, a shot from a mysterious hand reached Sundar. At his fall the pillars of the courage of the rebels shook.
