He was beforehand with them, and sent Hayat Khan Habashi, with many brave men, to the house of Khan Jahan, either to take him alive or to kill him. He, planting his foot firmly on his good fame, took to fighting, and when things went badly with him committed Jauhar, and passed from this borrowed life. At that time Nahir K. was very young. Hayat Khan Abyssinian, having asked ‘Ali K.’s permission, adopted him as his son, and made him a Musalman. After his death Raja ‘Ali K. brought up Nahir K., and took good care of him. When my revered father conquered Asir, Nahir K. joined his service. He (Akbar) discerned the signs of bravery on his forehead, and raised him to a suitable mansab, and gave him in jagir the pargana of Muhammadpur in Malwa. In my service he advanced more and more. Now that the grace of gratitude has been bestowed upon him, he has found the advantage of doing what was right.
