When the Malik-ul-Jibal retired to Ghaznin [as previously related], and left the buildings of the city of Firuzkoh in an unfinished state, Sultan Baha-ud-Din, Sam, came from [the territory of] Sangah to Firuz-koh, and went on with the building of the city and fortification, and brought to completion those edifices and the royal palaces. He also commanded the erection of the fortresses of Ghur, and contracted alliance and entered into amity with the Shars of Gharjistan. He ascended the throne of Firuz-koh in the year 544 H. When the construction of the capital of Firuz-koh was completed through his propitious auspices, he gave directions for the construction of four strong fortresses on the confines of the territory of Ghur, Garmsir, Gharjistan, and the mountain tract of Hirat, and the Kasr of Kajuran in the district of Garmsir and Fur, the fortress of Sher-Sang in the mountains of Hirat, and that of Bindar [or Pindar], in the hills of Gharjistan, and Fiwar, between Gharjistan and Faras [or Baras].
