تحفة النظار في غرايب الامصار وعجايب الاسفار 10.5.3

10.5.3

I stayed in this city with ʿAlāʾ al-Mulk for five days; then he provided me generously with provisions and I left him for the city of Bakār (with a over the single-dotted bā'). It is a fine city, cut through by a channel from the river of Sind, and in the middle of that channel is a fine hospice providing food for travellers coming and going, built by Kushlū Khān during his governorship of the land of Sind; he will be mentioned later.
