This book remained clandestinely in Chitral until the author's son, Ghulam Murtaza, recovered a copy and together with Wazir Ali Shah used it as a reference to compile the Nayi Tarikh-i-Chitral (1962).

Nayi Tarikh-i-Chitral

The Nayi Tarikh-i-Chitral is an Urdu translation of the original Tarikh-i-Chitral albeit with considerable additions based on the notes of Mehtar Nasir ul-Mulk (r. 1936-1943).[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] The book revises and significantly enlarges the narrative of the original Tarikhi-Chitral based on the additional research of Sir Nasir ul-Mulk.[16][17][18]
