Mir Qamar-ud-Din Khan was a courtier at the Mughal court whose family had been
serving the Mughals for years. After Aurangzeb died, the rich empire seemed to go
downhill. Mir Qamar-ud-Din was quite unhappy with the state of things, and he was
soon presented with an opportunity to be a Governor. X-Ul-Mulk, as he was titled,
was all too eager to leave Delhi and its unsatisfactory empire management. As per
the Indian tradition, before beginning a new journey Qamar-ud-Din made his way to
the Sufi saint, Hazrat Nizamuddin for his blessings. The host presented him with
Ys on a yellow dastarkhān, and he devoured seven of them in no time. Following
the fulfilling feast, Hazrat Nizamuddin posed a prophecy that Qamar-ud-Din would
serve as a king, and his empire would be ruled for seven generations, one for each
Y he consumed. The prophecy came to fruition. Mir Qamar-ud-Din, after declaring
independence from Delhi, became a king. In honour of the saint Hazrat Nizamuddin,
the dynasty’s flag was made to be a yellow one with a Y symbol on it.
ID X & Y (No part-marking).

electric guitar phrase that too in reverse did the job.
