Nuru-d-din Shah Jahangir s. Shah Akbar
Is a king who in the Age hath no equal.
He took Fort Kangra by the aid of God.
A drop from the cloud of his sword is a tempest.
As by his order this illumined mosque was built,
May his forehead shine by his prostration.
A hidden messenger said: "In seeking for the date
(Say) The mosque of Shah Jahangir was illumined." [563]
On the first of the Divine month of Isfandarmuz I gave the
establishment and everything belonging to the government and Amirship
of I`timadu-d-daula to Nur Jahan Begam, and ordered that her drums
and orchestra should be sounded after those of the king. On the 4th
of the same month I pitched in the neighbourhood of the pargana
of Kashhuna. [564] On this day Khwaja Abu-l-Hasan was raised to
the lofty dignity of supreme Diwan. I conferred dresses of honour
on 32 individuals of the Deccan Amirs. Abu Sa`id, grandson of
I`timadu-d-daula, was raised to the mansab of 1,000 personal and 500
horse. At this time a report came from Khurram that Khusrau, on the
8th [565] (20th) of the month, had died of the disease of colic pains
(qulanj), and gone to the mercy of God.
On the 19th of the month I pitched on the bank of the Bihat
(Jhelam). Qasim K. was raised to the mansab of 3,000 personal and 2,000
horse. Raja Kishan Das was selected for the duty of faujdar of Delhi,
and his mansab was fixed at 2,000 personal and 500 horse, original
and increased. Previously to this, huntsmen and yasawulan (guards)
had been ordered to prepare a jarga (hunting-ring) in the shikar-gah
(hunting-place of) Girjhak. When it was reported to me that they
had brought the game into the enclosure, on the 24th of the month I
went out to hunt with some of my special servants. Of hill quchqar
(rams?) and gazelles 124 [566] head were taken. On this day it was
reported that Zafar K. s. Zain K., had died. I promoted Sa`adat Umid,
his son, to the mansab of 800 personal and 400 horse.
