v1.c6.s12.5

Zulfiqar Khan, who had an old quarrel with Kam Bakhsh,* became very impatient. After many private messages to Munim Khan he attacked Kam Bakhsh whose small force, leaving the cooking with which they had been busy, had drawn up in order of battle outside the grove where they were encamped. Munim Khan was thus forced to order an advance of the right wing. As Kam Bakhsh had very few men but a large number of rockets, he directed that the latter should be discharged against the advancing imperialists. As they drew near several of Kam Bakhsh's devoted adherents were shot down. Kam Bakhsh grasped his bow and let fly his arrows, and regardless of several wounds that he had received charged the overwhelming force opposed to him. So boldly did he bear himself that Daud Khan's troops were partially thrown into confusion and some even took to flight. Kam Bakhsh emptied two quiverfuls of arrows killing and wounding many of his opponents. At length he was weakened by loss of blood and Daud Khan's Afghans surrounding his elephant on all sides succeeded in capturing him. With him was taken his son, Bariqullah,* who also was wounded in several places.
