Ghazi-ud-din Khan is described as the most exceptionally gifted among the Turani nobles, good-natured, dignified, fortunate in war and an excellent administrator. His first wife was the daughter of Sadullah Khan,* Wazir of Shah Jahan; after her death he married in succession two of her nieces, daughters of her brother, Hifz-ullah Khan (Miyan Khan), but by these two wives he had no children. For the last twenty years of his life he was totally blind, his sight having been destroyed by an epidemic which raged in the army under his command. In spite of this privation, his active career continued as before; such a case having been until then unknown in India, of a blind man continuing to command an army in the field or govern a province.
