Muhammad Amin Khan wanted to go to govern Kabul and encounter the turbulent Afghans. On Sunday the 21st April 1672 (3rd Muharram), thought he had got the news that the Afghans had blocked the pass of Khyber before the day on which he had planned to cross it, he proceeded on without paying heed to it or considering it necessary to dislodge them. At the time of crossing the same disorder took place among his troops which had happened in Akbar’s time to Hakim Abul Fath, Zain Khan Kokah and Raja Birbal. The Afghans crowded on all sides and began to hurl arrows and stones. The troops were scattered and then horses, elephants, and men were mixed up in confusion. At this crisis, although several thousand men had lost their lives by falling from the summit of the hills into the abyss, Muhammad Amin Khan from his high sense of honour wanted to sacrifice his life in fight. But his servants seized the bride and brought him away from the place of danger. After losing Abdullah Khan, the young and faithful son of Khan, and without gaining any honour, he galloped back to Peshawar in a wretched condition. The Emperor got this news on 30th April / 12 Muharram.
On Saturday, 18th May / 30th Muharram, Fidai Khan left Lahore for Peshawar. On 8th May 1672/20th Muharram, Sarbuland Khan was made Subaehdar of Agra vice Namdar Khan, Multafat Khan darogah of the imperial retinue vice Sarbuland Khan.
