I–II 120 - **Language:** English ### [120](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.120) This auspicious Lord of Conjunction had four sons. (1) Ghiyasu-d-din Jahangir Mirza. He died in Samarqand in 776 (1375) in the early part of his father’s reign. He left two sons, Muhammad Sultan whom Timur made his heir but who died after the conquest of Asia Minor (Rum) on 17 Sha‘ban, 805, at Suri a fort of Rum; and Pir Muhammad who was made his heir after his brother’s death and in whose favour his Majesty Sahib Qirani made a will at the end of his life. At that time he (Pir Muhammad) was ruler of Ghaznin and the borders of India. But he was martyred on 14 Ramazan, 809 (22nd February, 1407), by Pir ‘Ali Taz, one of his officers and thus the stain of an eternal curse was affixed to the brow of that disloyal one. The second son of his Majesty Sahib Qarani is Mirza ‘Umar Shaikh who ruled over Persia. He too died in his father’s life-time in Rabi‘u-l-awwal, 796 (January, 1394), below the fortress of Kharmatu. The third son was Jalālu-d-dīn Mīrān Shāh Mīrzā of whom a short account will be given as he belongs to this noble series. The fourth son was Mīrzā Shāhrukh who governed Khurāsān and who attended his father’s stirrup in many battles. Shortly after his father’s death, he became confirmed in sovereignty; and Iran, Turan and such other countries as had been under his father’s control, were under his successful sway for 43 years. He was born on Thursday 14th Rabī‘u-l-ākhar, 779 (21st August, 1377), and died on New Year’s Day (Pers. Era) Sunday morning, 25th Zī-l-hijja, 850 (13th March, 1447). - [Previous: 119.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.119.4) - [Next: 121](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.121) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.120](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.120) · Pramāṇa
