When Gujra a second time came to fight, From the aim of destiny, the bow became stretched, When the arrow hit him clean on the forehead, The arrow passed right through the head. Gujra fell on the field like a mountain, By his fall, his army became dispirited. When fortune turned its face from Daud Khan, From every side, misfortune hemmed him in. Daud Khan fled from the battle, As he no longer dreamt of victory. Daud Khan, leaving behind the war-elephants and other armaments, in despair fled from the battle-field. And Rajah Todar Mal and other Imperial grandees marched in pursuit of Daud Khan. When Daud Khan reached the environs of the river Chin, he took refuge in the fort of Katak. Since every avenue of escape was closed, he was obliged to place his family and children inside the Fort, and then himself advanced to fight, putting the coffin on the shoulder, and preparing to die. Rajah Todar Mal communicated to the Khan Khanan the state of affairs. Although wounded, the Khan Khanan on the wings of swiftness proceeded to that place. But Daud Khan negociated terms of peace through the mediation of one of the Omra, and when the basis of the treaty was settled, he went to meet Mun'im Khan.
