118 W. Irvine—The Bangash Nawabs of Farrukhabad. [No. 2, 
and grants of land revenue ; the rest he would entertain in his army. The 
Sayyad then said, that if such were the Wazir’s intentions, then in bis hum- 
ble opinion it would be well to write parwdnahs to each man separately 
under the Wazir’s own seal. These parwdnahs should then be made over 
to him, Mahbib ’Alam, with a written order in such terms as to the Wazir 
might seem meet. 
The Wazir directed Sayyad Manavvar to convey an order to his secre- 
tary to make out parwdnahs, according to the instructions of Sayyad Mah- 
bib ’Alam, to whom those written orders, when ready, were to be made over. 
Kudrat ’Ali Khéin‘and Mahbtib ’Alam then took their leave and went to 
the secretary. After the orders were written out, they were taken to the 
Wazir for approval; they were then delivered to Mahbib ’Alam at Mir 
Kudrat ’Ali Khan’s tent. 
Now Mir Muazz-ud-din, son of Shah Khatir-ud-din Gwaliyari, was a 
brother’s son of Hisim-ud-din’s father. He was in the direct employ of 
the Emperor, but he happened to be present at that time in the Wazir’s 
camp. The Kudrat ’Ali Khan above referred to had a community of belief 
with him, and looked up to him with great respect. The reason was, that 
Kudrat ’Ali was a descendant of Sayyad Hasan Danishmand of Daipir. 
This Sayyad Hasan Danishmand was himself a successor (Khalifa) of 
Miran Hamid-ud-din Hazrat Muhammad Ghaus Gwaliyari. By chance. 
Mir Muazz-ud-din paid a visit to Kudrat ’Ali Khan’s tent. Mir Mahbib 
’Alam, through the said Khan, had struck up a friendship with Sayyad 
Muazz-ud-din, and in conversation he had learnt that he was a cousin of 
Mir His4m-ud-din, and was further his devoted friend. Accordingly, he 
asked Muazz-ud-din to write a letter to Histm-ud-din, asking why he was 
throwing himself away in company with Ahmad Khan, who would soon be 
slain or captured ; that on reading the letter, he should at once desert alone 
to the other side, without caring for his property, which would be fully 
replaced. As soon as he joined he would, by God’s grace, be presented to 
the Wazir, from whom he would receive a title and a grant of land revenue. 
Mir Muazz-ud-din Khan, as requested, wrote a letter to the above effect, and 
made it over to Mir Mahbib ’Alam. The latter also wrote letters from 
himself to all his acquaintances of Mau and Shamsabad, stating that he had 
interceded for them with the Wazir, who had promised to entertain them 
all in his own service, in token of which he had caused shukkas (notes) to 
be written to them, impressed with his own special seal. He prayed them 
to make no delay, but come over at once. Putting up together all the 
parwanahs and his own letters, he despatched them by a messenger in the 
Wazir’s employ, under the charge of his own private servant, Bhai Khan, 
to Nawab Ahmad Khan’s camp,
