267.6

When the fortress of Kal-yun fell into the hands of the infidels [the Mughals], the inhabitants of the fortress of Tulak, who were also kinsmen of the Khwajah, and fifteen heads of families, also kinsmen of each other, entered into a compact together, in the year 619 H., and caused the Khwajah to be martyred, and sent the son of Malik Kutb-ud-Din, Husain, back to the presence of his father. For a period of four years, they [the Tulakis] waged war against the Mughal infidels a great many times, and the author of this work, which is Minhaj-ud-Din-i-Saraj, during these four years, used to join the people of Tulak, who were all kinsmen and brethren, in their holy warfare, and, in the end, it continued safe from the hands of the infidels. After the people of Tulak became disobedient to the authority of Malik Kutb-ud-Din, Husain, he determined upon retiring into Hindustan, in the year 620 H., and the fortress of Tulak remained unmolested.
