The History of Shēr Shāh (Tārīkh-i Shērshāhī) 4.2.2

4.2.2

Dibalpur and Multan were committed to Fath Jang Khan, and in that (latter) fort much treasure was stored; and in the fort of Milwat (which Tatar Khan Yusuf-khail built in the time of Sultan Bahlol) was stationed Hamid Khan Kakar, who held such firm possession of the Nagarkot, Jwala, Dihdawal, and Jammu hills, in fact the whole hill-country, that no man dared to breathe in opposition to him; and he collected the revenue by measurement of land from the hill people. The sarkar of Sirhind was given in jagir to Masnad 'Ali Khawas Khan, who kept in that sarkar his slave Malik Bhagwant, at the capital Dehli. Mian Ahmad Khan Sarwani was amir, and 'Adil Khan and Hatim Khan shikkdar and faujdar. And as the head-men and cultivators of the sarkar of Sambhal had fled from the oppression of Nasir Khan, Sher Shah sent there Masnad 'Ali 'Isa Khan, son of Masnad 'Ali Haibat Khan Kalkapur Sarwani, who had the title of Khan-i 'Azam, and was a counsellor and adviser of Sultans Bahlol and Sikandar; and he said to him: "I have given to you the parganas of Kant, Gola, and Tilhar for your family and your old horsemen. Enlist five thousand new cavalry, for the sarkar of Sambhal is full of disaffected and riotous people, and the cultivators of that sarkar are for the most part rebellious and contumacious, and they are always given to quarrelling with and resisting their rulers."
