In 1445, Muhammad marched against Bír Rái of [[Idar State]], but on that chief agreeing to pay tribute he confirmed him in the possession of his state. His next expedition was against Kánha Rái of [[Dungarpur]], who took refuge in the hills, but afterwards returned, and paying tribute, was given charge of his country. Muhammad married Bíbi Mughli, daughter of Jam Tughlaq, also known as Jam Juna II of [[Samma dynasty]] ruling from [[Thatta|Samanagar]] in [[Sindh]]. She bore a son, Fateh Khán, who was afterwards became well known as Sultán [[Mahmud Begada]]. In 1450, Muhammad marched upon [[Champaner]], and took the lower fortress. Gangádás of Chámpáner had a strong ally in Sultán [[Mahmud Khilji|Mahmúd Khilji]], the ruler of [[Malwa Sultanate]], and on his approach Muhammad Sháh retired to [[Godhra]], and Mahmúd Khilji continued his march upon Gujarát at the head of 80,000 horse. Muhammad Sháh was preparing to fly to [[Diu, India|Diu]], when the nobles, disgusted at his cowardice, caused him to be poisoned. Other sources say, on the return journey, he fell seriously ill and died in February, 1451. Muhammad Sháh’s after-death title is ''Khûdáigán-i-Karím'', the Gracious Lord.<ref name="GBP"/><ref name=m3>Majumdar, R.C. (2006).
