On the death of Malik Yamin-ud-Din, Bahram Shah, the great nobles and chief men of Nimroz agreed together and raised to the throne Nusrat-ud-Din, the middle son of the late ruler. This caused agitation and commotion to arise in the country of Nimroz, and, in every direction, disorder and confusion occurred.
The eldest son of Bahram Shah, named Rukn-ud-Din, was detained in confinement [as a state prisoner]. The orthodox people of both parties were all partisans, well-wishers, and under allegiance to Amir Nusrat-ud-Din, while the whole of the heretics of the districts of Nimroz were friendly towards, and submissive to Rukn-ud-Din. After some months had passed away from the accession of Amir Nusrat-ud-Din, the heretics broke out into rebellion and brought forth Rukn-ud-Din; and, between Amir Nusrat-ud-Din and his brother, Rukn-ud-Din, an encounter ensued, in which Nusrat-ud-Din was defeated, and he retired into Khurasan and Ghur.
He returned a second time to Sistan, and liberated the country from the hands of Rukn-ud-Din; but, at last, as a body of troops of the infidels of Chin and Mughals advanced against Sistan, it fell into the hands of those infidels, and Nusrat-ud-Din obtained martyrdom, and died.
