Sikandar's death

তখনে মরিল সেই শাহ সিকান্দর
Tokhone morilo shei Shah Shikandor
It was then that Sikandar Shah passed away
বেসরদার হৈল তবে ছিলট নগর
Be-shordar hoilo tobe Silot Nogor
Sylhet town became sardar-less
এজন্যে হযরত শাহ জালাল এমনী
Ejonne Hazrat Shah Jalal Yemeni
For that reason, Hazrat Shah Jalal of Yemen
নিযুক্ত করিল এক সরদার তখনি
Nijukto korilo ek shordar tokhoni
Appointed another sardar at the time

 – Tarikh-e-Jalali [1]

Death

Khan drowned whilst journeying on a boat to catch fish in at the junction of the Surma, Barak and Kushiyara rivers in Badarpur. His body was never found. [6] Due to this he is considered a shaheed (martyr) in Islam. [7] He was succeeded by Haydar Ghazi, who was appointed by Shah Jalal himself. [8] This shows that Khan's death took place before 1346, which was the year of Shah Jalal's death. [1] There is a poem found in the biography of Shah Jalal, Tarikh-e-Jalali, which mentions the incident.
