v2.c13.s12.11

On foot near the palanquin was Sayyid Nur Ali, entitled Nur-ullah Khan, a boy of fourteen or fifteen years of age. He was the son of Asad-ullah Khan Bahadur, called Nawab Auliya, and one of Husain Ali Khan’s cousins. As soon as he saw what had happened, the boy shouted out, “The wretches have killed the Nawab,” quick as lightning drew a pistol from his belt and with a shot from it wounded Haider Beg. Then, with three blows from his sword, he stretched the murderer on the ground dead at the side of his victim. But, before the boy could escape, he was attacked by the other Mughals, and fell lifeless across the mangled body of his cousin. Husain Ali Khan’s head was borne in triumph to the small tent (rawati) of Haider Quli Khan, whence he and Mhd. Amin Khan had hurriedly emerged barefoot when the shouting began. [K.
