Muntakhab al-tawarikh 47: SULTAN MUHAMMAD SHAH IBN FIROZ SHAH.

47

After the death of his brother’s son Abu Bakr, this monarch ascended the throne of Dihli in the abovementioned year by the consent of the grandees and nobles of the State, and assumed absolute power there being now no one left to oppose him in the kingdom. And in this same year Mufarrih Sultan governor of Gujrat revolted, and Zafar Khan ibn Wajihu-l-Mulk was ordered to proceed thither.
In the year 794 H. (1391-92 A.D.) the zamindars (land-holders) of the Doab breaking out into rebellion attacked the town of Balaram, and Islam Khan being appointed to proceed against Harsingrai defeated him, while the Sultan went as far as Qanauj and Itawa, and after punishing the infidels of that district and laying waste Itawa, returned to Chitra which was a favourite resort of his, and there built the city of Muhammadabad.
In the year 795 H. (1392-93 A.D.) he appointed Malik Muqarrabu-l-Mulk to proceed against the mutineers in the district of Itawa, who by promises and engagements induced the rebels to come in, and took them to Qanauj, where he put them to death and returned to Muhammadabad. And in the month of Shawwal in this year, the Sultan was attacked by illness; taking advantage of this Bahadur Nahir made an inroad upon some of the towns around Dihli. The Sultan notwithstanding his weakness proceeded to Kotla; Bahadur gave battle once and then fled, and the Sultan victorious and triumphant returned to Muhammadabad, and was engaged in superintending the building of the city when his illness returned. In the year 796 H. he appointed Shahzada Humayun Khan to oppose Shaikha Khokhar who had rebelled and gained possession of Lahore, but the Shahzada was still in the city when the Sultan took his departure from the populous city of existence to the deserted regions of annihilation, and was buried in the mausoleum of his father on the banks of the Hauz-i Khass; the duration of his reign was six years and seven months.
Masnavi. What is the world, but a wayside abode of trouble and evil? A house of labour and toil, a mansion of pain and affliction? Here is no truce and no faithfulness, here are no friends and no friendship; Hundreds of times have I seen this, and proved it by frequent experience.
