Haibat Khán was called the wolf-slayer, and had thus obtained the name. One day he went out hunting in the neighbourhood of Bayána, and made a pleasant party in the Sikandarí garden, with Daryá Khán Sarwání, Mahmúd Khán Lodí, and Daulat Khán Urmar. While they were seated there, two large wolves carried away some sheep, and the shepherds began to lament loudly. It happened that Haibat Khán had gone to perform the offices of nature. The wolves approached him ; he took his bow from a servant, who was in attendance, and as he was a powerful shot, the arrow left the bow, passed through the bodies of both wolves, and stuck in the ground beyond. From that day he received his honorary surname.
At drinking parties he was so liberal that every one wondered. One day Jalál Khán, the brother of Sultán Ibráhím, said, "O Haibat Khán, I have heard that you are generous when intoxicated; if you were so when you are in your senses, I should consider you worthy of praise." Haibat Khán from that day left off drinking wine, and gave away so much, even with his wits about him, that people were still more astounded; for he broke up all his gold and silver drinking vessels, and gave even them away.
One day, an inhabitant of Bayána, by name Múmin, repeated some lines in praise of the Khán, and gave them to the minstrels to recite in the presence of the exalted Khán, on the day when the nobles assembled at his fête. Upon the minstrels' recitation of this panegyric, the Khán presented the carpet, on which he was that day sitting, to the poet, and 2000 tankas to the minstrels. This will serve, in some degree, to show to what an extent he carried his generosity.
