"Even if it rains stones or fire, we'll be here until you come back," they said. But it turns out that that government had a man among us. In the time it took me to get from there to UštroT Farms, they were told via the wireless that Anvâr had left, and that Ubaidullâh was at UštroT Farms. He was under our command; the Kâtas' bunker was on the opposite side [from us]. They were up at Uštrot Farms, and I was down at Two Waters. Do you understand? I went up to Ridge Farms and said to Lieutenant Ubaidullâh, "Hey, boy, I'm going up to Kom Community. Don't be here any longer, in this place and upward. Go down straight across from my place. These [communist] soldiers have to be kept downstream; so that they don't suddenly slip upstream. If they slip by it won't be good. These clothes of mine are full of lice; I'll go and change my clothes tonight and return in the morning," I said, making it clear. I left. |

I washed and changed my clothes, thinking that I would go in the morning, when just at night a man arrived. Just at night a man arrives for me from downstream. "Just after you left, the army downstream attacked all at once and drove out the men stationed there. Bad things have befallen us there," he said. |

On that morning, without drinking any tea, I went off again! Puff, pant, puff, pant, I reached downstream again. When I reached there I saw that whichever bunker of mine there was had been given up, right? Whatever we had besieged was given up! So then we were compelled again to fight each other, right? We fought again and took those places again. We took them again, then. |

Right then, just as the regiment was surrendering, when that man was asking permission [to surrender], right then, over there by Charat Valley – downstream the Gujars and BânDa Wâls were all gathered together – they must have boxed in [our] soldiers and come out from that side through the Charat Valley mountain. |

They came face to face with them [the Gujars] there on Charat Valley Mountain, and the Government captured alive three or four boys from Kom Community and carried them off. Some two or three were wounded there, and two or three were martyred there. You know, Câaro's Merak's son? A little way down from my house, there was an old man there, wasn't there? A little way down from the fort. That old man's only boy – he was a very energetic young man. He was martyred there, sir. |

Before there was another name; later the boy was named Abd-ul Muhammad. He was a very good boy, sir. He was martyred there. |

The forces slipped out via Charat Valley and broke the siege. A thousand soldiers came out from there. A thousand soldiers. A thousand soldiers must have gone in via the other side – what's it called – via Mumdeš. The soldiers burned down Ašipâa; they burned down Juniper Stable; they went in and burned down Mumdeš. Two or three men were wounded there. The word arrived; I was astonished. From then on this war of ours had two fronts; to me this was very dangerous! It was dangerous because over there and then up there and then there I'm aware of the soldiers' routes crossing back this way. There's a crossing this way over ÂakaN Mountain. There's a crossing this way in Kâmu. There's a crossing this way at Charat Valley. There's a crossing this way at Nićat Valley. I was forced, and I said to the young men of Kom Community and to the KStos, "You go and be in that side valley and in the mountains." I remained with the outliers and the Kâtas. |
