The people of the city, by force of late events, had become impoverished and needy, so he settled allowances and made provision for them. By this kindness, they were all made easy and happy. He gave to Maliku-sh Shark Malik Tuhfa the title of Taju-l Mulk, and made him wazir. To Saiyid Salim, chief of the saiyids, he gave the ikta and shikk of Saharanpur, and all affairs were set in order. He gave to Malik 'Abdu-r Rahim, adopted son of the late Malik Sulaiman, the title of 'Alau-l Mulk, and he confided to him the ikta' and shikk of Multan and Fathpur. He made Malik Sarwar governor (shahna) of the capital, and his locum tenens when he was himself absent. Malik Khairu-d din was made 'ariz-i mamalik (muster-master), Malik Kalu keeper of the elephants, Malik Daud became secretary (dabir). Ikhtiyar Khan was appointed to the shikk of the Doab.
