"The wealth and sensual beauty which had intoxicated them became their enemies. To the messengers (of Death) the command was given to strip, them of their honour and carry them off. If it seems good to Thee Thou givest glory, and if it pleases Thee Thou givest punishment. Had they paused to think in time, then would they have received the punishment? But the rulers paid no heed, passing their time instead in revelry, and now that Babur’s authority has been established the princes starve.'"
