MALIK ‘IZZ-UD-DIN, MUHAMMAD, SON OF SHERAN KHALJI, IN LAKHANAWATI. Tabakat-i-Nasiri 188 - **Language:** English ### [188](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.188) Trustworthy persons have related after this manner, that Muhammad-i-Sheran and Ahmad-i-Sheran were two brothers, two among the Khalj Amirs in the service of Muhammad-i-Bakht-yar; and, when the latter led his troops towards the mountains of Kamrud and Tibbat, he \[Muhammad-i-Bakht-yar\] had despatched Muhammad-i-Sheran, and his brother, with a portion of his forces, towards Lakhan-or and Jaj-nagar. When the news of these events \[related above\] reached Muhammad-i-Sheran, he came back from that quarter, and returned again to Diw-kot, performed the mourning ceremonies \[for Muhammad-i-Bakht-yar\], and from thence \[Diw-kot\] proceeded towards Naran-go-e, which was ’Ali-i-Mardan’s fief, seized ’Ali-i-Mardan, and, in retaliation for the act he had committed, imprisoned him, and made him over to the charge of the Kot-wal \[Seneschal\] of that place, whose name was Baba Kot-wal, the Safahani \[Isfahani\]. He then returned to Diw-kot again, and assembled the Amirs together. This Muhammad-i-Sheran was a man of great intrepidity and energy, and of exemplary conduct and qualities; and, at the time when Muhammad-i-Bakht-yar sacked the city of Nudiah, and Rae Lakhmaniah took to flight, and his followers, servants, and elephants became scattered, and the Musalman forces proceeded in pursuit of spoil, this Muhammad-i-Sheran, for the space of three days, was absent from the army, so that all the Amirs became anxious on his account. After three days they brought information that Muhammad-i-Sheran had taken eighteen elephants along with their drivers in a certain jangal \[forest\], and was retaining them there, and that he was alone. Horsemen were told off, and the whole of these elephants were brought before Muhammad-i-Bakht-yar. In fact, Muhammad-i-Sheran was a man of energy \[combined\] with sagacity. When he imprisoned ’Ali-i-Mardan, and again departed \[from Diw-kot\], being the head of the Khalj Amirs, they all paid him homage, and each Amir continued in his own fief. ’Ali-i-Mardan, however, adopted some means and entered into a compact with the Kot-wal \[before mentioned\], got out of prison, and went off to the Court of Dihli. He preferred a petition to Sultan Kutb-ud-Din, I-bak, that Kae-maz, the Rumi \[native of Rumilia\], should be commanded to proceed from Awadh towards the territory of Lakhanawati, and, in conformity with that command, \[suitably\] locate the Khalj Amirs. Malik Husam-ud-Din, ’Iwaz, the Khalj, at the hand of Muhammad-i-Bakht-yar, was the feudatory of Ganguri \[or Kankuri\]; and he went forth to receive Kae-maz the Rumi, and, along with him, proceeded to Diw-kot ; and, at the suggestion of Kae-maz, the Rumi, he became the feoffee of Diw-kot Kae-maz, the Rumi, set out on his return \[into Awadh\], and Muhammad-i-Sheran, and other Khalj Amirs, assembled together, and determined upon marching to Diw-kot. Kae-maz, whilst on his way back \[hearing of this\], returned again, and an encounter took place between the Khalj Amirs and him, and Muhammad-i-Sheran and the Khalj Amirs were defeated. Subsequently, disagreement arose among themselves, in the direction of Maksadah and Santus, and Muhammad-i-Sheran was slain ; and there his tomb is. - [Previous: 187.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.187.3) - [Next: 189.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.189.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.188](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.188) · Pramāṇa
