Haibat Khán was, according to trustworthy statements, a countryman of his, and had two sons in his service. When he set forth the terms on which peace might be made, Sultán Sikandar replied, that Sultán Fíroz had been kind to him, and that he was very averse to carrying on war and slaughter with him. Haibat Khán conducted himself like an accomplished ambassador; what he had to say he said well, tenderly, and warmly. When he perceived that Sikandar also spoke in favour of peace, he said that the chief reason why Sultán Fíroz had undertaken the campaign was the establishment of Zafar Khán in the country of Sunár-gánw. Sultán Sikandar accepted the proposed terms, and agreed to surrender Sunár-gánw to Zafar Khán. But he added, that if this were the object of the campaign, much unnecessary trouble had been undertaken; for if an order had been sent to him from Dehlí, he would have placed Zafar Khán in possession of the place. Haibat Khán returned to Sultán Fíroz in high spirits, and made an exact report of all that had passed, including Sikandar's consent to allow Zafar Khán to occupy Sunár-gánw. The Sultán was satisfied, and expressed his desire to remain at peace with Sikandar, and to look upon him as a nephew. - [Previous: 30.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-firuzshahi-afif~en-elliot.30.2) - [Next: 30.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-firuzshahi-afif~en-elliot.30.4) - [Up: 30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-firuzshahi-afif~en-elliot.30) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-firuzshahi-afif~en-elliot.30.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-firuzshahi-afif~en-elliot.30.3) · Pramāṇa
