5.2.6

The fact is that their talents (himmat) were not equal to this, but afterwards each made amends for his fault, viz., Dilawar Khan, by his rapid march, entered the fort of Lahore before Khusrau reached it, and by this notable service made amends for his earlier shortcoming, and Sayyid Kamal manfully exerted himself in the engagement with Khusrau, as will be described in its own place. On Zu-l-hijja 17th the royal standards were set up in the pargana of Karnal. Here I raised 'Abidin Khwaja, son of Khwaja Kalan Juybari and pirzada (spiritual adviser), son of 'Abdu-llah Khan Uzbeg, who had come in the time of my revered father, to the rank of 1,000. Shaikh Nizam Thaneswari, who was one of the notorious impostors (shayyadan) of the age, waited on Khusrau, and having gratified him with pleasant news, again led him out of the (right) path, and then came to wait on me. As I had heard of these transactions, I gave him his road expenses and told him to depart for the auspicious place of pilgrimage (Mecca). On the 19th the halt was in pargana Shahabad. Here there was very little water, but it happened that heavy rain fell, so that all were rejoiced. I promoted Shaikh Ahmad Lahori, who from my princehood had filled the relationship of service and discipleship and the position of a house-born one (khanazada) to the office of Mir-i-'Adl (Chief Justice).
