‘Ālam Shāh, on his way to Budaun, took counsel with Qutb Khān, cousin of Buhlūl, ‘Īsā Khān, and Raja Partāb regarding the possibility of rehabilitating the royal power. Hamīd Khān, who was now minister, was obnoxious to Raja Partāb, for his father, Fath Khān, had formerly devastated Partāb’s fief and carried off his wife. The three courtiers promised to add to ‘Ālam Shāh’s small kingdom forty *parganas* on condition that he put Hamīd Khān to death. He was imprisoned, but escaped and fled to Delhi.
