152.2.3

When Ghaznin was conquered, Sultan Ghiyas-ud-Din placed his brother, Sultan Mu'izz-ud-Din, upon the throne of the Mahmudis and returned himself to Firuz-koh. After two years, he [Sultan Ghiyas-ud-Din] summoned his troops [again], and the armies of Ghur and Ghaznin were got ready, and he advanced to the gates of the city of Hirat. The people of that place had been manifesting signs of duty and desire [to place themselves under his rule]. When Baha-ud-Din, Tughril, became aware of this [latter] fact, he evacuated the city of Hirat, and retired to the Khwarazm-Shahis; and, in the year 571 H. the city of Hirat was taken possession of. Two years subsequent to this, Fushanj was taken; and, after these successes, the Malik of Nimroz and Sijistan despatched envoys, and he enrolled himself among the vassals of that Sultan. Subsequently to these events, the Ghuzz Maliks who were in Kirman paid submission to him; and different parts of the territory of Khurasan, which were dependent upon Hirat and Balkh, such as Tal-kan, Andkhud, Maimand, Faryab, Panj-dih, Marw-ar-Rud, Dajzak, Kilaf, the whole of those towns came into the possession of the Ghiyasi officers, and the Khutbah and the coin became adorned by the august name of Sultan Ghiyas-ud-Din.
