Muntakhab al-tawarikh 16.9

16.9

It must be stated that in the historical works by Qazi Baizawi and others it has been written that when 'Alau-d-Din plundered Ghaznah and put many of the inhabitants to death, he left there Ghiyasu-d-Din Abul-fath Muhammad and Shihabu-d-Din Abul Muzaffar who were his nephews. They then with great craft put Khusrau Shah at his ease with regard to themselves and took up their abode in his city. Khusrau Shah was imprisoned in the year 555 H., and died in the same year, and the days of the Ghaznevide family came to an end. After a time Ghiyasu-d-Din died, and the whole kingdom remained in the possession of Shihabu-d-Din, but since Khwaja Nizamu-d-Din Ahmad deceased, has written in the Tārīkh-i-Nizāmī copying from the Rauzatu-s-Safā that Khusrau Malik ibn Khusrau Shah was the last of the kings of the Ghaznevide dynasty, I have followed him — God knows the truth.
