6.5.7
It is to be hoped that the place of this black-faced scoundrel will always be there. Amba Khan obtained martyrdom on the spot, and Qutbu-d-din Khan Koka after four watches attained the mercy of God in his quarters. What can I write of this unpleasantness ? How grieved and troubled I became ! Qutbu-d-din Khan Koka was to me in the place of a dear son, a kind brother, and a congenial friend. What can one do with the decrees of God ? Bowing to destiny I adopted an attitude of resignation. After the departure of the late King and the death of that honoured one, no two misfortunes had happened to me like the death of the mother of Qutbu-d-din Khan Koka and his own martyrdom.
