When the prince’s career ended, his two sons, Badi’uzzaman and Muzaffar Mirza, proclaimed themselves kings of Khurasan. Anarchy prevailed; and matters grew worse, when Shaibani Khan invaded the country. Zul-nun Beg fell in battle against him. Shuja’ Beg, better known as Shah Beg, Zul-nun’s son, held Qandahar during the absence of his father, and succeeded him in the government. He was bent on conquest. In 890, he took Fort Sewi from Jam Nizamuddin (generally called in Histories Jam Nanda), king of Sindh. He continued to interfere, as related by Abulfazl below in the Third Book, (Cubah of Sindh), and managed at last, in 929, to conquer the country, thus compensating himself for the loss of Qandahar, which had been occupied by Babar. A short time before his death, which took place in 930, he invaded Multan, then in the hands of the Langahs.
