When Shahjahan heard of this unfortunate defeat, he raised his hands and his eyes to heaven, saying, 'Ala ham di lillah !' [Al hamdu lillah !] — that is to say, 'Praise be to God!' ' Already I knew that the time of my rule was nearing its end, but not that there would fall upon me this calamity, so that, filled with anguish thereby, I cry, " Hia Ala teri raza " [Ya Allah! teri raza !]— that is to say, "O God! thy will be done " — ' it is my sins that chastise me, and I deserve it all, " mere Ala !" [mere Allah !], " my God !" ' When Dara received the report that the river passage at Ujjain had been forced, he was greatly enraged, and in a passion stamped on the ground, and, wringing his hands, cursed Qasim Khan. If he had him there, he would without fail order him to be cut into pieces. With the same passion he let himself loose upon and railed against Mir Jumlah. He said to his father that he (Shahjahan) was the chief cause of the mishap. If his majesty had not confided an army to Mir Jumlah, he could not have transferred it to the rebel Aurangzeb. ' But this day our own arms are turned against us. If your majesty had only listened to my advice in the first instance, we should never have arrived at this plight.' He joined in his accusation the names of Muhammad Amin Khan and Shaistah Khan, saying they also were traitors. He wanted to have them beheaded, and their families sent to a house of ill fame.
