He had not reigned three days, when Moobariz Khan, the son of Nizam Khan Soor, at once the nephew of the late Sheer Shah, and brother-in-law of Sulim Shah, assassinated the young Prince, and ascending the throne, assumed the title of Mahomed Shah Adil.

She always replied, "My brother is too fond of dissipation and pleasure to encumber himself with the load of anxiety which belongs to a King."
