this reproof, Sa’dat ’Ali Khan was much abashed and hung down his head. 
A few days afterwards, he was appointed to the command of a regiment of 
two thousand horse. 
Nir ’Ali Khan succeeded as Miyan Sahib, and he received gifts and 
honours above all the other courtiers. He in turn was displaced by Mir 
Jan Ali, and he was then transferred to the mahals of Derapur-Mangalpur 
(now in the Cawnpur district). Jan ’Ali’s father had been adopted by Mir 
Fath-ullah. When the Nawab saw Jan’Ali, he took a fancy to him and kept 
him at his court. His title was Miyan Sahib Jan ’Ali Khan. He built 
the masjid on the left, as you turn out of the main bazar to drive up to the 
Tuhsil in the fort. In the course of time, the Nawab transferred his favour 
to Muhammad Roshan, a resident of Kanauj, and he becoming Miyan 
Sahib was enriched with gifts like his predecessors. He was styled Miyan 
Sahib Roshan Khan Bahadur. 
Ahmad Khin’s wives. 
There were four wives : 
1. Dulhin Begam—The daughter of Sanjar Khan, Pathdn, zamindar 
of Rudain, parganah Kampil. 
2. Rani Sahiba—She was brought by the Nawab from the east at 
the time of the siege of Allahabad. 
3. Bibi Kukhr-un-Nissa—the sister of Karm Khan. 
4, Bibi Khairan—the mother of Muzaffar Jang and Dildaler Khan. 
There were besides many concubines. In the above list it is difficult 
to identify the daughter of Sher Zam4n Khan Dil4zd4k of Jaunpur, who 
was, according to the Balwantnamah (year 1164 H.), one of the wives of 
Ahmad Khan. In that work there is a Karm Zamdn Khan named as a 
nephew of Sher Zaman Khan, so possibly the Karm Khan of the Farrukha- 
bad books was*the Begam’s cousin instead of her brother. In that case the 
Jaunpur wife would be Fakhr-un-Nissa, No. 3 of the list. 
Ahmad Khan’s children. 
He had three sons and one daughter : 
1. Mahmid Khéin—He died in his father’s lifetime and was buried 
in the Bihisht Bagh. Mahmitdganj in the town of Chibramau was founded 
by him (Kali Kae, p. 134). He left one son, Himmat Bahadur, who mar- 
ried ’Umdah Begam, daughter of Muzaffar Jang, and died in J240 H. 
(August, 1824—August, 1825), leaving one daughter, Riy4zat-un-Nissa, who 
was twice married, first to Imd4d Husain Khan, son of Dildaler Khan ; se- 
condly to Himmat ’Ali Khan, a younger brother of her first husband.
