When Sultan ’Ala-ud-Din arrived at Firuz-koh, and \[again\] seated himself on the throne of his ancestors, he turned his attention to the making of fresh conquests. He brought under his sway the districts of Bamian and Tukharistan, and seized the districts of Dawar, Jarum, and Bust also; and, of Khurasan, took the fortress of Tulak, which is situated in the mountains in the vicinity of Hirat, after a period of six years. There was a poet within the fortress of Tulak, whom they called by the name of ’Umr-i-Saraj; and, when hostilities were about to come to an end, and the fortress of Tulak was about to be gained possession of by terms of accommodation, he composed some verses, two lines of which, which were deserving \[of insertion\], are here brought in:— Seated on horseback, galloping up-hill and down, Thy object is Tulak: lo! there is Tulak.” In their language, galloping up-hill and down-dale is called “Wurlak-Fulak.” “The mercy of God be upon them!” - [Previous: 149.3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.149.3.3) - [Next: 149.3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.149.3.5) - [Up: 149.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.149.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.149.3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.149.3.4) · Pramāṇa
