【Summary】

Shajarah-yi Mulūk is a poetic historical account of Sistan, narrating the region’s political history from the earliest times to the reign of Malek Bahrām Khān Kiyānī, a contemporary of Fatḥ-ʿAlī Shāh Qajar. The work focuses on the succession of local rulers and the broader political developments of Sistan.
Its significance lies in the detailed coverage of lesser-known aspects of eastern Iranian history, including Sistan and Khurasan, the events leading to the fall of the Safavid dynasty, and the subsequent political transformations. The book also provides valuable information on the rule of Malek Maḥmūd Sīstānī and the final powerful rulers of Nimruz before the fragmentation of Sistan under the Qajar administration.
As the last major example of court-sponsored historiography of the rulers of Nimruz—a tradition dating back to the Saffarid era—this work holds a unique place in Iranian regional historiography.
