al-Waziri and Badr al-Din (1), together with Bilik (2)—the Master of Arms—Aytamush al-Saʿdi, Husam al-Din Lajin, Husam al-Din Ṭuruntay (3), al-Duidari (4), and their peers, when they saw the Sultan’s steadfastness, wheeled round against the Tatars (5). They launched several earnest assaults, one charge after another, and kept pressing the attack until, by Allah’s might and power, the Tatars were broken (6) and Mankutamur was wounded. At that moment the emir (7) ʿIsa ibn Muhanna came up from the direction of al-ʿArḍ (8) and struck the Tatars; the armies (9) reeled under the force of his blow, and the rout was completed—praise be to Allah. They slew an exceedingly great number of Tatars (10).

The Tatar contingent (11) that had pursued the Muslims who had fled (12) now returned, only to find their comrades shattered and the Muslim forces on their heels, killing and taking captives. The Sultan still stood firm beneath the standards (13), with the kūsāt (kettledrums) (14) beating behind him (15), and only a thousand horsemen at his side. Emboldened, the Tatars attacked him, but he held his ground with extraordinary resolve; they broke before him, and he pursued and killed most of them. Thus the victory was consummated. The Tatar flight began before sunset, and they split into two groups: one headed toward Salamiyah and the desert, the other toward Aleppo and the Euphrates. The Sultan sent detachments in pursuit.

A written dispatch bearing the glad tidings (16) of the victory reached Damascus on Friday, the fifteenth of Rajab. The drums of rejoicing were beaten, the city (17) was adorned, candles were lit, and the people rejoiced. On Saturday morning, however, a band of fugitives arrived—among them Bilik al-Nasiri.
