Riyaz al-salatin 73: RULE OF KHIZR KHAN, STYLED BAHADUR SHAH.

73

When Bahadur Shah, with an efficient army, invaded Bengal, Shahbaz Khan, who, on behalf of Muhammad Shah 'Adli, was at that time Governor of Gaur, advanced to fight. The grandees of Shahbaz Khan, seeing the overwhelming force of Bahadur Shah, deserted to the latter. Shahbaz Khan, with the remnant of the soldiery who held on to him, resolved to fight, and was slain on the battle-field.
The man whom Fortune favours, Who has power to vanquish ?
Bahadur Shah, triumphant and victorious, captured the City of Gaur, and introduced the coin and Khutba in his own name. After this, he drew his forces against Muhammad Shah 'Adli, and a great battle was fought at a point between Surajgadha and Jahangirah. Muhammad Shah, receiving mortal wounds on the battle-field, was killed. And this Muhammad Shah alias Mubariz Khan, was a son of Nizam Khan Sur, who was a nephew of Sher Shah, and a cousin and brother-in-law of Salim Shah. After the death of Salim Shah, on the third day, slaying the former's son, named Firuz Shah, who was his nephew, Muhammad Shah mounted the throne of Delhi, and assumed the title of Muhammad Shah 'Adli. As the latter had no capacity for Government, the Afghans nick-named him 'Adli,' and by a slight change of pronunciation, they called him 'Andli.' And 'Andli,' in the Hindustani language, means "the blind." After this, Bahadur Shah, reigning over Bengal for six years, died.
