After a while, Bashar lost the protection of the aforementioned mother, Parī, and there were no others (lā gayr). Afterwards Salīm, relying on his integrity and representing the other aforementioned inheritors, [brought] a claim against his brother Nazīr.

The reason (bā’ith) for penning these words is that fortune became the companion of the refuge of honor Murād Beg Ahmad Ābādī who has pulled himself from the whirlpool of transgression onto the banks of salvation in order to [fulfill the expression] “I seek forgiveness from my Lord and repent onto him”. He has become remorseful (nādim) from his collection of forbidden acts (manāhī) and transgressions (ma’āsī), as in accordance with the content of the Hadith of the exalted Allah “turn to Allah in sincere repentance” [Qur’an 66:8], and has repented from drinking and debauchery and sodomy and fornication and stealing the property of others and consuming illegal interest (ribā’), and became distinguished by [rejecting] his own heinous acts. There is hope that he be of strong resolve [sure-footed] on this path, praise be to God, By the Truth of the Lord of men [‘ibād--the subjects].
Freedom Papers (azadnamcha) are as such:
