When Rukn-ud-Din, Firuz Shah, reached the city, insurrection had [already] broken out therein, and his mother had been made prisoner. The centre contingents [of the Dihli forces] and the Turk Amirs all entered Dihli and joined Sultan Raziyyat, pledged their allegiance to her, and placed her on the throne. Having ascended the throne, she despatched a force consisting of the Turkish slaves and Amirs to Gilu-khari, so that they made prisoner of Sultan Rukn-ud-Din, Firuz Shah, and brought him into the city. He was imprisoned and confined, and, in that prison, he was received into the Almighty’s mercy. This circumstance of his seizure, imprisonment, and death occurred on Sunday, the 18th of the month Rabi'-ul-Awwal, in the year 634 H.; and his reign was six months and twenty-six days.
