17

Ascended the imperial throne in Lahore after the death of his father, and spent the greater part of his time in luxury and licentiousness, so that in his time great damage found its way into the kingdom, and the dynasty of the Ghaznaviyah was growing old while that of Ghor was in full vigour, accordingly Sultan Mu’izzu-d-Din Muhammad Sam, who is well-known under the title of Sultan Shihabu-d-Din Ghori, having gained the upper hand and making Ghaznin his capital, brought an army against Hindustan and came with overwhelming force near to Lahore. Khusrau Malik fortified himself there and was compelled to ask for quarter in a personal interview. Sultan Mu’izzu-d-Din Muhammad Sam took him to Ghaznin, from thence sending him to Sultan Ghiyasu-d-Din, who imprisoned him in Firoz Koh and sent an order, and after ten years’ confinement made him taste the cup of destruction.
Set not your heart on this world, for it is without foundation. It is a newly-wed bride entangled with many a lover.
This event took place in the year 583 H. (1187 A.D.). He reigned twenty-eight years; the lines of the Ghaznevide dynasty came to a close, and the Empire passed from their hands to those of the Sultans of Ghor. “Thou givest the kingdom to whom thou seest fit.”
HEMISTICH.
Nothing endureth but God, God’s kingdom alone is a kingdom.
And Qazi Baizawi may God’s mercy be upon him states that So the duration of the Ghaznevide dynasty from Sultan Mahmud to Khusrau Shah was one hundred and sixty-one years in the hands of twelve persons, while Qazi Yahya Qazwini, may God's mercy be upon him, says one hundred and fifty-five years in the hands of fourteen persons, and the author of the Tarikh-i-Nizami, as has already been quoted above, says two hundred and fifteen years in the hands of fifteen persons, and God knows the real truth of the matter.
