Malik Fakhr-ud-Din, Mas'ud, having ascended the throne, the adjacent hill territories, [namely] the mountain tract of Shaknan Tukharistan, as far as Dar-gun and Bilaur, and the tracts towards Turkistan to the boundary of Wakhsh and Badakhshan, the whole came under his jurisdiction. Malik Fakhr-ud-Din, Mas'ud, had able and accomplished sons; and, when Kimaj from Balkh, and Taj-ud-Din, Yal-duz, from Hirat, who were slaves of the Sanjari dynasty, conspired to eject Sultan Ghiyas-ud-Din, Muhammad-i-Sam, in order to take possession [of the country] as far as Firuz-koh, and the Ghiyasiah sovereignty was, as yet, in the morning of its ascendancy, Malik Fakhr-ud-Din, Mas'ud, rendered assistance to them, under the stipulation that whatever pertained to Khurasan should go to them, and what belonged to Ghur to [him] Malik Fakhr-ud-Din, Mas'ud.
