Qūtlūq-nigār Khānīm,āburnā my mother, was Yūnas Khān's second daughter. She was with me in most of my guerilla expeditions and throneless times. She went to God's mercy in Muḥarram 911 AH. (June 1505 AD.) five or six months after the capture of Kābul.
Khūb-nigār Khānīm was his third daughter. Her they gave to Muḥammad Ḥusain _Kūrkān Dūghlāt_ (899 AH.). She had one son and one daughter by him. `Ubaid Khān (_Aūzbeg_) took the daughter (Ḥabība).[146] When I captured Samarkand and Bukhārā (917 AH.-1511 AD.), she stayed behind,[147] and when her paternal uncle, Sayyid Muḥammad _Dūghlāt_ came as Sl. Sa`īd Khān's envoy to me in Samarkand, she joined him and with him went to Kāshghar where (her cousin), Sl. Sa`īd Khān took her. Khūb-nigār's son was Ḥaidar Mīrzā.[148] He was in my service for three or four years after the Aūzbegs slew his father, then (918 AH.-1512 AD.) asked leave to go to Kāshghar to the presence of Sl. Sa`īd Khān.
"Everything goes back to its source. Pure gold, or silver or tin."[149]
People say he now lives lawfully (_tā'ib_) and has found the right way (_ṯarīqā_).[150] He has a hand deft in everything, penmanship and painting, and in making arrows and arrow-barbs [Sidenote: Fol. 11b.] and string-grips; moreover he is a born poet and in a petition written to me, even his style is not bad.[151]
Shāh Begīm was another of Yūnas Khān's ladies. Though he had more, she and Aīsān-daulat Begīm were the mothers of his children. She was one of the (six) daughters of Shāh Sulṯān Muḥammad, Shāh of Badakhshān.[152] His line, they say, runs back to Iskandar Fīlkūs.[153] Sl. Abū-sa`īd Mīrzā took another daughter and by her had Ābā-bikr Mīrzā.[154] By this Shāh Begīm Yūnas Khān had two sons and two daughters. Her first-born but younger than all Aīsān-daulat Begīm's daughters, was Sl. Maḥmūd Khān, called Khānika Khān[155] by many in and about Samarkand. Next younger than he was Sl. Aḥmad Khān, known as Alacha Khān. People say he was called this because he killed many Qālmāqs on the several occasions he beat them. In the Mughūl and Qālmāq tongues, one who will kill (_aūltūrgūchī_) is called _ālāchī_; Alāchī they called him therefore and this by repetition, became Alacha.[156] As occasion arises, the acts and circumstances of these two Khāns will find mention in this history (_tārīkh_).
