185.5

When [Sultan] Nasir-ud-Din, Kaba-jah, became quietly established in the territory of Sind during the calamities [attending the inroads] of the infidels of Chin, a great number of the chief men of Khurasan, Ghur, and Ghaznin presented themselves before him, and he bestowed upon the whole of them ample presents, and provided liberally for them. There used to be constant contention between him and the august Sultan, Shams-ud-Din, I-yal-timish, up to the time of the battle on the banks of the Sind, which was fought between Sultan Jalal-ud-Din, son of Sultan Muhammad, Khwarazm Shah, and Chingiz Khan, after which, Jalal-ud-Din, Khwarazm Shah, came into the land of Sind, and proceeded towards Diwal and Mukran. After the taking of Nandanah by the forces of the infidel Mughals, Turti, the Mughal Nu-in, with a large army, appeared at the foot [of the walls] of the city of Multan, and, for a period of forty-two days, closely invested that strong fortress. During that contest Malik [Sultan] Nasir-ud-Din, Kabajah, opened the door of his treasury, and conferred numerous benefits upon the people, and showed such proofs of boldness, ability, expertness, and courage that the mention thereof will endure upon the pages of time until the judgment day.
