"سلالة كاجار مترجمة من المخطوطة الفارسية الأصلية ومقدمه من فاتي علي شاه إلى السير هارفورد جونز بريدجيس...ومعها تقرير موجز في البداية عن تاريخ بلاد فارس قبل تلك الفترة موضحة بألواح وخرائط لغربي بلاد فارس" [‎١‎٢‎٧] (٦٨٤/٣٤٤)

DYNASTY OF THE KAJARS. 127
the departure of the triumphant standard drew near ;
and not the smallest appearance was manifested, on
the side of Allah Yar Khan Kalijy and Jaafer Khan
Byat, of the fulfilment of their promises, guaran
tied, as before stated, by Prince Zemaun ; the eagle
like and victorious banner of the region-conquering
sovereign soared in his flight much higher than the
atmosphere of the destruction of the helpless and
indigent; and he ordered the Nuwab Ibrahim Khan,
with twenty-thousand spear-brandishing, lightning-
scattering infantry and cavalry, to advance to
Sabzawar: strict commands were also given to
Ibrahim Khan, Muhammed Khan Davalu, and Peer
Kuly Khan Sham Biyaty, Ameers of great experience,
and to Husain Khan of the royal guards, to Ameer
Guneh Khan ZaafFeran Lu, and Ibrahim Khan Shad
Lu, two of the governors of Khorasan, that they
should not, in this region, draw out from under the
lobes ot oppression the hand of plunder and devas
tation, nor put forth the foot of injury and ruin; nei
ther should they allow themselves to co-operate in the
daughter and captivity of individuals, the demolition
and destruction of forts and dwellings, nor in con
suming with fire the means of life, the harvest of
the people. Although Allah Yar Khan individually
merited torture and punishment, yet, to the addi
tional disgrace of that infatuated man, great multi
tudes of the cultivators of Sabzawar were ignomini-
ou sly trampled under foot like the herbage, and
became associated with anguish and misfortune ;—
" When a field of canes takes fire.
Dry and ^reen are consumed alike."
