360 H. G. Raverty— The Mihran of Sind and its Tributaries. [Ex. No. 
be noticed in the account of the last-named river), intervenes. From 
Hurappah it passes close to Ohichawatni on the south, thirteen miles 
intimated that the Khan had arrived ; and all Ohakar could do was to ride forth to 
receive him, in a very disturbed state of mind. As soon as Haibat IGian perceived 
him. he said : ‘ I will not inspect your followers now, but will do so at Debal-pur,' 
his object being, lest Fath Khan, the Hut Baluch, should, in case he delayed at 
Sath Gaph, take himself off ; and so Ohakar, to his great relief, was dismissed.” 
Haibat Khan continued his march to the Pak Pattan of the Kutb-i-’A'lam, the 
Shaikh, Farid-i-Ganj-i-Shakar ; but Fath |Oian, alarmed, had fled [Ohakar, doubt¬ 
less, informed him in time], but Haibat Khan pursued him, and came up with him 
near Fath-pur of Kuhror [about twenty miles east of Kuhror]. He had no chance 
of escape from Haibat Khan, as he had his family, and those of his followers, with 
him. He therefore threw himself into the mud built fort there, and sought shelter 
therein. It was immediately surrounded ; and after he had held out for a day or 
two, Fath Khan got the Shaikh Ibrahim, the descendant of Shaikh Farid, to 
intercede for him ; and he came out and presented himself before Haibat Khan. 
The latter told the Shaikh, that he was himself only a servant of the Shah, and 
that whatever his commands might be he must carry them out, so Fath Khan was 
allowed to return to the fort pending the orders of Sher Shah. He shortly after 
managed to escape, however ; for one night, chiefly through the efforts of a faith¬ 
ful follower, Mando by name, Fath Khan, at the head of 300 men, made a sudden 
rush upon the guards, overpowered them, and got off. The Afghans on entering 
the place, found that they had butchered nearly all the women and children before 
they left. Bakhshu, the Langah, afterwards captux^ed Mando, and brought him 
bound to Haibat Khan, and shortly after, Fath Khan was taken. Haibat Khan 
proceeded to Multan, having collected the remaining inhabitants, who had long 
befoi’e dispersed to various places, and set about re-peopling and repairing the place. 
Fath Khan, Hut, and Mando, by command of Sher Shah, were hanged. 
For these distinguished services Sher Shah confei’red upon Haibat Khan the 
title of Masnad-i-’Aid, ’A'zam Humdyun —that is “ The Occupant of the Exalted 
Seat [of Dignity], the most August,” a title which had been conferred twice before 
by the Afghan sovei’eigns on their nobles. He was also assigned a scaiflet tent, which 
only the family of the sovereigns had hitherto been pei’mitted to use.” This was 
in 950 H. (1543-44 A.D.) 
Sher Shah directed the ’A'zrtm Humaytin not to make any alterations in the 
assessments, but to observe the rules and usages of the Langahs, and to take the 
revenue in kind. The latter, leaving Fath Jang Khan, Kanbu (or Kambu : it is 
correct both ways, the person referred to above) in charge of the Multan province, 
retnimed to Labor. Fath Khan, Kanbu, brought it into a floui'ishing condition once 
more, and founded therein a town which he named Sher Garh.” 
This place is still in existence, situated close to the right high bank of the 
Biah, some twenty miles to the south-eastwards of Sath Garh. These people under 
the “ official name” of Kambohs, still hold a good deal of land in that locality. 
That “ god-like man,” the “ mighty Cliakar Rind,” the founder of “ the king¬ 
dom of the lofty Gtxlam Bolak Rinds,” disappears from the scene ; but he con¬ 
tinued to hold his jd-gir at Sath Garh, and there died, and was buried. The Rinds, 
lattei'ly, were much bullied by the Sials. See page 338. There are more than 
“ traces of Biloches ” throughout the whole Panj-ab, particularly in the southern 
half of it.
