| Additional information |
Muhammad bin Farid — better known by his regnal name Mubarak Shah II — ruled the Delhi Sultanate for a turbulent three years before being assassinated by his own nobles in 1434, making the precise dating of this tanka genuinely difficult; some scholars place the terminal date as late as 1437, accounting for coins struck in his name after his death during the political vacuum that followed. The Sayyid dynasty to which he belonged was never more than nominally powerful, with the real authority resting with Afghan nobles whose factional violence defined the period.
