37.2.4
At all events, after the usurpation by Sultan Qutbu-d-Din, all the rules and regulations made by ‘Alau-d-Din, each of which embodied some wise purpose or far-seeing design, were thrown into confusion, and dissoluteness and wickedness, contumacy and rebellion sprang anew to life during the reign of Sultan Qutbu-d-Din, who threw open the doors of license and gratification of desires to the people; and when Malik Kamalu-d-Din Garg, after that Alp Khan had been summoned to the presence and had been executed, proceeded to Gujrat where he attained martyrdom, ‘Ainu-l-Mulk Multani was nominated by the Court, and having quelled the disturbance there regained possession of Nahrwala and all the country of Gujrat, Sultan Qutbu-d-Din married the daughter of Malik Dinar, and having given him the title of Zafar Khan sent him to Gujrat. He performed the important duties of that province better and more satisfactorily than 'Ainu-l-Mulk. In the year 718 H. (1318 A.D.) Sultan Qutbu-d-Din marched for Deogir with a larger army, and the Rais of that country were not able to stand against him.
