On Malik Tughril-i-Tughan Khan’s reaching the city, he employed the author, Minhaj-i-Saraj, and despatched him out of the city to seek an accommodation and his safety; and a truce and compact were entered into between the two Maliks, under the engagement that Lakhanawati should be delivered up to Malik Tamur Khan-I-Kiran, and that Malik Tughril-i-Tughan Khan should proceed to the Sublime Court, taking along with him his treasures and elephants, his dependents and followers. Under this agreement, Lakhanawati was delivered up to Malik Tamur Khan-i-Kiran, and Malik Tughril-i-Tughan Khan, in company with Malik Kara-Kash Khan, Malik Taj-ud-Din, Sanjar-i-Mah-peshani [of the moon-like brow], and the [other?] Amirs of the Court returned to the sublime presence. The author, with his family and dependents, returned to Dihli along with Malik Tughril-i-Tughan Khan, and the Sublime Court was reached, on Monday, the 14th of the month of Safar, 643 H. On Malik Tughril-i-Tughan Khan's arrival at Court, he was distinguished by great honour and reverence, and, in the [following] month of Rabi'-ul-Awwal of that same year, the territory of Awadh was consigned to him, and he received much comfort and encouragement.
