The Chachnāma (Fatḥnāma-yi Sind) 168: Battle with the people of Alor.

168

War was then waged with the people of Alor, who believed that Dahir was bringing men to their aid. They cried aloud from the ramparts to the besiegers, "You must abandon all hope of life, for Dahir, with a formidable army of numberless elephants, horse and foot, is advancing in your rear, and we shall sally out from the fort and defeat your army. Abandon your wealth and baggage, take care of your lives, and run away, that you may not be killed. Hear this advice."
