49.1.3

Sa'adat Khan went to Firuzabad, and acting in concert with some of the Amirs summoned Nusrat Khan son of Fath Khan and grandson of Sultan Firuz Shah from Miwat, and set him upon the throne in the month of Rabi'u-l-Awwal of the aforesaid year, with the title of Nasiru-d-Din Nusrat Shah. Nusrat Shah was nothing more than a puppet, for Sa'adat Khan assumed the whole of the authority in state matters, and some slaves of the Firuzi party and some elephant drivers joined with Sultan Nusrat Shah, and by some clever artifice placed him upon an elephant, and without warning fell upon Sa'adat Khan unawares in full force; Sa'adat Khan was paralysed and helpless, and of necessity took to flight and came to Dihli, where he sought the protection of Muqarrab Khan, and was treacherously put to death by him; then the Amirs of Nusrat Shah’s faction, such as Muhammad Muzaffar Vazir, and Shihab Nahir, and Malik Fazlu-llah Balkhi, and the slaves of Firuz Shah’s party, one and all renewed their declaration of allegiance to Sultan Nusrat Shah, and divided the appointments afresh. Sultan Mahmud was known as King in Dihli, while in Firuzabad Nusrat Shah enjoyed that title; and Muqarrab Khan placed the citadel of old Dihli under the command of Bahadur Nahir Mewati, and bestowed upon Malloo Khan the title of Iqbal Khan; and day by day battles were fought between these two kings, who were like the two kings in the game of chess.
