11.2.2
When some time had elapsed, many of Sher Sháh's nobles became convinced that Islám Sháh intended to ruin them. Sa'íd Khán, the brother of Haibat Khán Níází, fled from Ágra to Haibat Khán, and induced him to rebel against Islám Sháh. Kutb Khán, one of the great chiefs and a principal grandee, who had been concerned in 'Ádil Khán's first sedition, escaped in the greatest alarm, and joined 'Ázam Humáyún Níází at Lahore. Islam Shah wrote a farmdn to 'Azam Humayun, demanding the surrender of Kutb Khan. 'Azam Humayun, by deceitful representations, contrived to send him to Islam Shah, who imprisoned him, with fourteen other chiefs, such as Shahbaz Khan Lohani the son-in-law of Sher Khan, Barmazid Sur, and other persons. He then sent them to Gwalior, after which he took measures for the seizure of 'Azam Humayun and Shuja' Khan, and sent these two grandees a summons to appear before him. 'Azam Humayun wrote from Lahore, to excuse himself from coming; and Shuja' Khan came from Malwa and paid his respects to Islam Shah; but as Islam Shah desired to obtain possession of the persons of these two chiefs at the same time, he allowed Shuja' Khan to return to his jagir. He went back to his fief in Malwa, and Islam Shah turned his face towards Rohtas and Chunar. On the road, 'Azam Humayun's brother, who had always been an attendant at Court, fled to Lahore. On account of his flight, Islam Shah went back to Agra, where he collected his troops and marched thence towards Dehli.
