Siyar al-mutaʾakhkhirin 18.13.6

18.13.6

This unfortunate Prince, already overtaken by the claws of destiny, was arrived at the shore opposite to Radj-mahl where he landed for about one hour, with intention only to dress up some kichri for himself and for his daughter, as well as for his women, not one of whom had tasted food for three days and nights. It happened that a Fakir resided in that neighbourhood. This man, whom probably he had either disobliged or oppressed in the days of his full power, rejoiced at this fair opportunity of glutting his resentment, and of enjoying a revenge. He expressed a pleasure at his arrival; and taking a busy part in preparing some victuals for him, he meanwhile sent an express over the water, to give information to the Prince's enemies, who were actually rummaging heaven and earth, to find him out. Immediately on this advice of Shah-dana's (for such was that man's name), Mir-cassem and Mir-daood crossed the water, and having got him surrounded with their armed men, they had the pleasure of becoming masters of his person, as well as of his family and jewels. Verses: "Be this my advice to thee, if thou wilt but hear me; "If thou hast planted thorns, thou canst not expect to reap jonquils."
