Suddenly and unexpectedly, the Mughals came upon them. Malik Saif-ud-Din, with his followers, sought the protection of the hills, and so remained safe, and again retired towards the mountains of Ghur. Malik Saraj-ud-Din, ’Umr-i-Kharosh, stood to fight, and was martyred; and Malik Kutb-ud-Din, Husain, by great stratagem, dashed his horse into the river, and, with a few men, emerged from it \[on the opposite bank\]. All the rest of the Amirs of Ghur, chieftains, and warriors, and the females, all attained martyrdom, including the sisters, daughters, and kinsfolk of Malik Kutb-ud-Din, Husain. From thence the Mughal army returned again towards Ghur and Khurasan. - [Previous: 268.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.268.12) - [Next: 269.1878](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.269.1878) - [Up: 268](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.268) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.268.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.268.13) · Pramāṇa
