32.2.3

In the year 693 H. the Mughuls under Chingiz Khan came up against Hindustan with a very large army, and fought a very severe battle with the Sultan’s victorious forces in the neighbourhood of Sanam. When the Mughuls became aware of the size of the army of Hindustan they began to make overtures for peace. The Sultan thereupon summoned their leader, who was very closely related to Halaku Khan, and also his son, who called the Sultan his father. They accordingly had an interview and exchanged gifts and presents and each returned to his own country: and Alghu the grandson of Chingiz Khan, embraced Islam, and several thousand Mughuls besides followed his example and having learnt to repeat the sacred and blessed formula, elected to remain in the service of the Sultan. Alghu was selected for the honour of becoming son-in-law to the Sultan. The Mughuls took up their abode in Ghiyaspur in which is now the sacred tomb of the Prince of Holy men Nizamul Auliya may God sanctify his resting place. It is commonly known as Mughulpur and those Mughuls were called the “new Muslims.” At the close of this same year the Sultan having gone up against the fort of Mandawar ravaged and pillaged the country round it and then returned.
