After Sultan Jalal-ud-Din, Mang-barni, Khwarazm Shah, overthrew the army of Mughals, on the confines of Barwan, between Bamian and Ghaznin, several times, and the Chingiz Khan turned his face towards Sultan Jalal-ud-Din, Mang-barni, and advanced towards the river of Sind, and the news of these victories [of the Sultan] reached all the cities of Khurasan, in every city and town wherever the Mughal Shahnahs [Intendants] were stationed, the people thereof despatched the whole of them to hell, and in every place a predominant person arose. After the Chingiz Khan defeated Sultan Jalal-ud-Din on the banks of the river of Sind, he despatched the Bahadur, Sha’ur, along with Uktae [his son] to Ghaznin, so that they destroyed the city of Ghaznin, and brought forth the inhabitants without the city, and, with the exception of a few, who were made captives, martyred the whole of them.
