46 W. Irvine — Jangnamah of Farrukhsiyar and Jahandar Shah. [No. 1, 
On liGraring the news he made a resolve, he went the rounds, 
His retinue having been made ready, the Sayyid rode forth. 
Joyous, with hand on moustache, he went to see the king. 
Reported everything, made glad the heart of the king of 
kings. 
816 What Mir Jumlah wrote in his report to the Sayyid Wazir, 
Both were of like contents, the degradation of lord and 
noble ; 
The eyes of the World Lord were filled with heroism, the 
steadfast in battle, 
His sword trailing at his side, the hero’s hand played on his 
moustache till it bristled. 
When the lord of all the Barhahs, the hero, Sayyid and 
Wazir, had told his tale, 
820 Came Muhammad !^an, Bangash, and joined with new 
equipments. 
Twenty thousand mail-clad horse came, looking like a cloud. 
All heroes and strong, all hard of heart and hand. 
Then king Farrukh gave him orders: “I have decided to 
march, 
“ Muhammad Khan ! parade your men and march at once, 
826 “To go with you brave fighting nobles and all things are ready, 
“ Arslan i^an has got out the advance tents, and starts to 
the front this very day.” 
The retinue was made ready, at dawn the king of kings 
mounted. 
Then came Muhammad !^an, verified twenty thousand horse. 
He was made a panj-hazarz, all his officers became mansahddrs, 
830 They joined the vanguard, the hero hurried to the front. 
March by march they hurried on, quickly came to Agrah, 
Both strong armies drank Jamna’s waters below Balambhpur, 
They met face to face on opposite banks, both armies pitched 
their tents. 
These wished to cross and attack, those on that side held all 
paths and passages. 
836 On both sides the drums resounded, all the waters were 
moved and trembled. 
On both sides flags fluttered, the pennants blazed to the stars. 
The royal tents, lustrous as the cars of the gods, hid out the 
heavens. 
Throughout both armies were thousands of brisk movements, 
the horses stamped their hoofs.
