Malik Nasir-ud-Din was a just monarch; and ’Ayishah Khatun, the daughter of the Malik of Khurasan, ’Umr-i-Maraghani, was married to him. He had good and worthy sons; and, upon several occasions, he marched from Sistan with numerous forces, and joined the Sultan Ghiyas-ud-Din, Muhammad-i-Sam, in Khurasan. At the time of the success at Nishapur, he was present with that monarch’s Court.
He was a Malik of good disposition, and the patron of learned men, and passed his life among men in [the exercise of] justice, beneficence, and humanity.
During the reign of his father, Malik Taj-ud-Din, he acted as his representative and lieutenant, in the administration of the government of the territory of Nimroz; and, outside the city of Sistan, on the bank of the river Hirmand, he founded a large and noble palace.
He ruled the country for a considerable period, and likewise died during his father’s lifetime.
