49.4.4
In Muharram of the year 816 H. (1413 A.D.) Daulat Khan having gone towards Kaithar on a hunting expedition and having brought the Rais of that district into his toils, went to Batauh, and Mahabat Khan the Wali of Badaon came thither and joined him. And in this year Sultan Ibrahim besieged Qadir Khan the son of Mahmud Khan in Kalpi, and Daulat Khan being very short handed, ignored him, and omitted to send reinforcements to either of these places, and Khizr Khan in Zi-l-qa'da of this year came to the fortress of Firozabad, the Amirs of which district came into him, and Malik Idris was besieged in Rohtak. Khizr Khan marched by that route to Miwat and taking with him Jalal Khan Miwati the brother’s son of Bahadur Nahir, conveyed him to Sambal which place he pillaged, and in Hijjah of that same year he encamped before the gates of Dihli with the intention of taking it; Daulat Khan held out for four months, but at last was compelled by the want of agreement with Malik Lona and the other supporters of Khizr Khan to sue for peace, humbly and earnestly. He had an interview with Khizr Khan who threw him into prison, and delivered him to Qiwam Khan who conveyed him to the fortress of Firoza and slew him. This happened in the year 816 H. (1414 A.D.) on the seventeenth of Rabi'u-l-Awwal.
Everyone whom the world favours, she at last spills his blood, What can be the condition of that child, whose mother is his enemy.
