And in the year 745 A.H. (1344 A.D.) Malik Nizamu-l-Mulk governor of Karra, raised a rebellion, Shahr-ullah the brother of 'Ainu-l-Mulk brought up an army against him from Oudh and took him prisoner, but the rebellion was quelled. Then Shihabu-d-din Sultan waxed riotous in Bidar, and Qutlugh was despatched against him, and Shihabu-d-din coming out with his son to do battle was besieged in the fortress, and Qutlugh Khan inducing him to come out by promises of quarter, sent him to the royal presence. And in the year 746 A.H. (1345 A.D.) 'Ali Sher sister's son to Zafar Khan 'Ala'i gained possession of Gulbarga in strong force, having put to death the ruler of Bidar, and taking much spoil, fought with Qutlugh Khan, but was defeated and obliged to retreat to the fortress of Bidar where he shut himself up, Qutlugh Khan however took him also prisoner, and sent him to Sarkdawari which was the camp of the Sultan’s army. The Sultan in the first instance sent the captives to Ghaznin in exile, but afterwards recalled them thence and put them all to death. And in the year 747 A.H. (1346 A.D.) at the time when the Sultan had made Sarkdawari his camp, ‘Ainu-l-Mulk arrived at the Court, bringing from Zafarabad and Oudh much property and rarities of great value as presents; then the Sultan came to the conclusion that it was advisable to recall Qutlugh Khan from the Dakkan, and send ‘Ainu-l-Mulk to replace him.
