5.4.2

For four kos the boat took its own way down the river, until at the end of the night it grounded, and try as they would they could not get it off. Meantime it became day. Abu-l-Qasim and Khwaja Khizr Khan, who by the efforts of Hilal Khan had assembled on this (? the west) side of the river, fortified its west bank, and the zamindars fortified it on the east. Before this affair of Khusrau's, I had sent Hilal Khan as sazawal to the army appointed for Kashmir under Sa'id Khan, and by chance he arrived in the neighbourhood (of the ferry) that same night; he came in the nick of time, and his efforts had great effect in bringing together Abu-l-Qasim Khan Namakin, and Khwaja Khizr Khan in the capture of Khusrau. On the morning of Sunday, the 24th of the aforesaid month, people on elephants and in boats captured Khusrau, and on Monday, the last day of the month, news of this reached me in the garden of Mirza Kamran. I immediately ordered the Amiru-l-umara to go to Gujarat and to bring Khusrau to wait on me.
