3.3.5
About this time there came a petition from Sa'Id Khan with regard to granting leave to Mlrza Ghazi, who was a son of the ruler of the province of Thathah (Tattah in Sind). I said that as my father had betrothed his sister to my son Khusrau, please God, when this alliance came into force, I would give him leave to return to Sind. A year before I became king I had determined that I would drink no wine on Friday eve, and I hope at the throne of God that He will keep me firm in this resolve as long as I live. Twenty thousand rupees were given to Mlrza. Muhammad Riza Sabzwarl to divide amongst the faqirs and the needy of Delhi. The viziership of my dominions I gave in the proportions of half and half to Khan Beg, to whom when I was prince I had given the title of Waziru-1-mulk, and to Wazir Khan (Muqim), and I gave to Shaikh Farld Bukharl, who held the rank of 4,000, that of 5,000. I promoted Ram Das Kachhwaha, whom my father had favoured, and who held the rank of 2,000, to that of 3,000. I sent dresses of honour to Mirza Rustam, son of Mirza Sultan Husain and grandson of Shah Isma'il, the ruler of Qandahar, and to 'Abdu-r-Rahim Khankhanan, son of Bairam Khan, and to Iraj and Darab, his sons, and to other nobles attached to the Deccan (command). Barkhurdar, son of 'Abdu-r-Rahman, son of Mu'ayyid Beg, as he had come to court without a summons, I ordered back to his jagir.
