After the disaster which befel Sulṭān Jalāl-ud-Dīn, Khwārazm Shāh, a force from the Mughal armies, amply equipped and provided, and \[consisting of\] cavalry, and infantry, and Amirs, beyond computation, appeared at the foot of the fortress of Saif-rud, and pitched their camp; and hostilities commenced. As Malik Kutb-ud-Din, Husain, had had opportunity, and had constructed reservoirs, and collected vast store of provision, he fought many encounters with the Mughal troops, and used strenuous efforts against them; and, the greater the efforts and endeavours the infidels put forth, the stronger became the affairs of the fortress, and the more intrepid grew the warriors of the faith. On this occasion, the fighting continued, and they kept up the investment, for a further period of two months, and, in no way, could they obtain possession of the fortress. After that \[period of time\], the infidels turned their faces towards treachery and deceit, and entered into the gate of peace, and propounded words of amity. As the people, for a considerable time, had suffered the disquietude and care of a fortress, out of eagerness for gold, and clothes, and cattle, at a cheap rate, they were agreeable to an accommodation. - [Previous: 268.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.268.5) - [Next: 268.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.268.7) - [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.268.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.268.6) · Pramāṇa
