The Nāṣirī Generations 20.2

20.2

The Sultan took him and his younger son, whose name was Shish, to Ghazni, because the lad was very dear to his father. When they reached the neighbourhood of Gilan, Amir Muhammad Suri died. Some say that he was taken prisoner, and and as he had a very high spirit he could not brook the disgrace. He had a ring, under the stone of which was concealed some poison, which he took and then died. The Sultan immediately sent his son Shish back to Ghor, and gave the chieftainship of Ghor to the eldest son, Amir Abu 'Ali bin Suri, an account of whom follows. 5. Amir Abu 'Ali bin Muhammad bin Suri. 6. Amir 'Abbas bin Shish bin Muhammad bin Suri. 7. Amir Muhammad bin 'Abbas. 8. Malik Kutbu-d din al Hasan bin Muhammad bin 'Abbas. 9. Malik 'Izzu-d din al Husain bin Hasan Abu-s Salatin. 10. Malik Kutbu-d din Muhammad bin Husain, King of the Jabbal. 11. Sultan Bahau-d din Sam bin Husain. 12. Malik Shahabu-d din Muhammad bin Husain, King of Madin, by Ghor. 13. Malik Shuja'u-d din 'Ali bin Husain. 14. Sultan 'Alau-d din Husain bin Husain bin Sam. Sultan Bahau-d din Sam, son of Husain, died in Kidan, whilst he was leading his army to Ghazni in order to exact revenge for the death of Sultan Suri, King of the Jabbal. Sultan 'Alau-d din then ascended the throne of Ghor and Firoz Koh. He assembled the forces of Ghor and Gharjistan, firmly resolved upon attacking Ghazni.
