And after the defeat of Muqbil and the murder of ‘Aziz, the Amirs of hundreds waxed bold, and sent for their families and relations from all directions, and with one consent turned against the Sultan and having captured the fortress of Daulatabad from the the governors of Malik ‘Alam took possession of it, and raising the rebel, after the arrival of the Sultan at Gujrat ventured a second time to fight with him and was again defeated, and giving himself up to brigandage roamed about from place to place, the Sultan however continued to pursue him and followed him wherever he went. And in this expedition the Sultan having sent for Malik Firoz from Dihli attached him to his Court, and in this year Malik Kabir the son of Malik Qabul Khalifati, to whom the Sultan had delegated the control of all his important affairs, and on whose behalf he had written a letter expressing submission to the Egyptian Khalifah and had sent it by the hand of Haji Barqa'i, died, and Ahmad Aiyar, who is also called Khwaja-i-Jahan, and Malik Qabul Qiwamu-l-Mulk were carrying on the government in Dihli. Towards the end of the reign of Muhammad, disaffection and rebellion, mischief and sedition became increasedly evident day by day, so that if he turned his attention to curing one evil, another was not wanting to supply its place, and matters were past all remedy, and the glory of the kingdom, and prosperity of the country was entirely subverted.
