consciousness of his important services. During the conduct of
the siege he had frequent opportunities of witnessing his ability
and conspicuous bravery; and the man who should have com
manded his gratitude, by the perverted policy of the East,
excited his jealousy, and incurred his hatred. Unable to con
ceal his apprehensions, he sent for Ukbur Khan, and desired
him to swear upon the Koran, that he would serve him with
fidelity, which he readily agreed to, and added a number of
protestations to convince him of the sincerity of his intentions.
Still distrusting Ukbur Khan, for he had rendered too many
essential services not to be feared, he sent for him again, made
him repeat his oath, and then told him, that to ensure his
fidelity, he w T ould give him his daughter in marriage.
Assassinates nex t night after this interview, he concealed Jafir Khan,
Ukbur &
Khun. with forty guards, in an adjoining room, and then sent for
Ukbur Khan. He had instructed his attendants to inform him,
that the king still distrusted him, and that it would be advise-
able for him to leave his arms ^t the door. Unsuspicious, he
did as he was desired, and entered the private apartments. Ulee
Moorad Khan, seeing the situation he was in, called out to
Jafir Khan, who appeared at the head of his guards. He told
him, that his father had been put to death without his orders,
and there was the murderer.* Upon a signal from the king, he
secured Ukbur Khan, and put out his eyes; he was afterwards
murdered, and his brothers and family sent in confinement to
Isphahan. The page of history has never been polluted by a
recital of a more infamous transaction.-f- The son of a murdered
* Jafir Khan is said to have attached himself to Sadiq Khan whilst he was besieging
Sheeraz; he could not have been much enraged against the supposed murderer of his
father.
t The treachery of Ukbur Khan is said to have occasioned his death, Francklin. No
mention is made of this in the Persian history or manuscript.
