On Sunday, 11th Safar (the author) had an interview with Sher Khan on the banks of the river Sind and Biyah. He proceeded from thence to Multan where he arrived on Wednesday 6th Rabi'u-l awwal. On the same day, Malik 'Izzu-d din Lashkar Khan came from Uchh to take Multan, and the author had an interview with him. He encamped there until the 26th of Rabi'u-l akhir, but was unable to conquer Multan, which was in the possession of the followers of Sher Khan. The author started for the capital and Malik 'Izzu-d din Balban went off to Uchh. The author, passing by the fort of Marut (Mirat ?) to Sarsuti and Hansi, arrived at Dehli on the 22nd Jumada-l awwal. In this year Ikhtiyaru-d din Gurez made many of the infidel Mughals prisoners at Multan and sent them to Dehli, where their arrival caused much triumph. On Friday, 17 Zi-l ka'da, Kazi Jalalu-d din Kashani died.
