The History of Shēr Shāh (Tārīkh-i Shērshāhī) 3.5.2

3.5.2

And the Khán-khánán Yusuf-khail, who was governor of the Panjáb, etc., has sent his son Diláwar Khán to Kábul, to fetch the Emperor Bábar, and he is now coming back with the Mughals. There will be war between the two monarchs. If Sultán Ibráhím prevails, you must go to him, and I will write to him on your behalf, and describe Faríd as hostile to Mián Hasan, as well as yourself, and that Mián Hasan preferred you. Whatever assistance your fortune gives you, you will get; and if the Mughals conquer, I will by force take the parganas from Faríd, and give them to you." Sulaimán replied, "I have taken refuge with you from fear of Faríd. Because there is none like you in the tribe of Súr, I place myself in your hands." Shortly after Muhammad Khán sent his vakíl to Faríd with this message: "Listen to my advice, and have respect to my interference. I come to mediate between you; whichever of you declines my mediation will bring shame on his kindred." Faríd Khán wrote in reply, "You are, indeed, very great and powerful, and the Dáúd-Sháh-khail is the most exalted among the tribes of Súr; the chieftaincy of the tribe is therefore yours of right. * * The truth is not hid from you, my lord; which is, that in my father's lifetime he was always disputing with me.
