  "en": "In Rabīʿ I Shirkuh entered Egypt with the Nūrid armies and took it. The Franks had stormed Bilbays — killing and enslaving — then besieged Cairo while Shawar burned Fusṭāṭ (the fire ran fifty-four days) and bought their withdrawal for a promised million dinars; al-ʿĀḍid had sent his womenfolk's hair to Nūr al-Dīn begging rescue. When Shirkuh arrived Shawar was killed — as commonly told, Saladin's hand at his uncle's order — and Shirkuh took the vizierate, dealt justly with the people, then died days later, choked, it was said, on a feast of rich food {cite:kamil-ibn-al-athir p. 11-15}."

The Franks had besieged Cairo, and Shawar had set fire to the city of Misr; the fire burned there for fifty-four days. Al-Adid had appealed to Nur al-Din by sending locks of his women's hair. Shawar then made peace with the Franks for a million dinars, and they withdrew. When Shirkuh arrived, Shawar was killed and the vizierate was given in his place. The new vizier ruled justly among the people for some days, then died. {cite:kamil-ibn-al-athir p. 11-15}"
