The Nāṣirī Generations 220.3

220.3

When the Shamsi reign came to its termination, and Sultan Rukn-ud-Din, Firuz Shah, succeeded, he conferred upon Kabir Khan-i-Ayaz the district of Sunam; and, when Malik 'Ala-ud-Din, Jani, from Lohor, and Malik Saif-ud-Din, Kuji, from Hansi, assembled with hostile intent against the Court, Kabir Khan-i-Ayaz joined them; and, for a considerable period, they alarmed and distracted the forces of Sultan Rukn-ud-Din, Firuz Shah. At last, when Sultan Raziyyat ascended the throne, they advanced upon the capital, and for a considerable period molested the city and parts around, and engaged in conflict with the servants of the Court of the Sultan of Islam, until Sultan Raziyyat, secretly, by promises of favour, detached him from that party, and he, in concert with Malik 'Izz-ud-Din, Muhammad-i-Salar, went over to the service of the Court. Through their coming [over to the Court party], the Sultan, the servants of her Court, and the people of the city, gained a great accession of strength, and Malik Jani and Malik Kuji, baffled, withdrew.
