The Memoirs of Jahāngīr (Jahāngīrnāma) 6.4.6

6.4.6

To each of the band of Bughra'iyan I gave a dress of honour, and also gave 1,000 rupees to divide amongst themselves. To twelve of the trustworthy courtiers I ordered 12,000 rupees to be given, to be bestowed every Thursday, as long as I was in Kabul, on the poor and needy. I gave an order that between two plane-trees that were on the canal bank in the middle of the garden — to one of which I had given the name of Farah-bakhsh (joy-giver) and the other Saya-bakhsh (shade-giver) — they should set up a piece of white stone (marble ?) one gaz in length and three-quarters of a gaz in breadth, and engrave my name thereon (and those of my ancestors) up to Timur. It was set forth on the other side that I had done away with the whole of the customs dues and charges of Kabul, and whichever of my descendants and successors should do anything contrary to this would be involved in the wrath and displeasure of God. Up to the time of my accession these were fixed and settled, and every year they took large sums on this account from the servants of God (the Muhammadan people in general). The abolition of this oppression was brought about during my reign. On this journey to Kabul complete relief and contentment were brought about in the circumstances of my subjects and the people of that place. The good and leading men of Ghaznin and that neighbourhood were presented with robes of honour and dealt kindly with, and had their desires excellently gratified.
