Meanwhile trouble was brewing in Mewat, where Bahadur Nāhar, who had ever opposed Muhammad, had risen in revolt and had made inroads into the environs of Delhi.⁴⁵ Notwithstanding his illness the Sultan proceeded in a palanquin to the Kotla of Bahādur Nāhar. The latter shut himself in his fortress and Muhammad could achieve little. He was still in feeble health when he returned to Jalesar, but only to learn that Shaikha Khokhar had risen in revolt at Lahore. He wrote to Humayūn Khan to march against the Khokhar chief, but just as the Prince was about to leave, the Sultan breathed his last on 20 January, 1394 (17 Rabiul Avval). His remains were taken to Delhi and interred at the Hauz-i-Khās.⁴⁶
