50.3.2

In this year the Sultan brought an army into Mewat against Jalal Khan, and from thence despatching a force to operate towards Gwaliar and Etawa, returned (to Dihli). In this same year Shaikh ‘Ali coming down into the Panjab again caused disturbances there. Mubarak Shah accordingly nominated ‘Imadu-l-mulk to reinforce the Amirs of that district. Shaikh ‘Ali invaded the country from Shur to the banks of the Biah, and taking great numbers prisoners and plundering, went to Lahor. Zirak Khan and the other Amirs who were in Lahor fortified themselves there, and fought repeated engagements with him, till, one night, the inhabitants of Lahor were careless about their guards and sentries, and Malik Yusuf Sarwaru-l-Mulk and Malik Isma’il under cover of night succeeded in joining Zirak Khan, then sallying from the fort, gave battle and were defeated. Shaikh ‘Ali pursued them, some of the fugitives were put to death, and some were taken prisoners. The following day Shaikh ‘Ali took Lahor and put to death great and small, and taking many prisoners remained there. And after some days, he came to Dehalpur, which Malik Yusuf Sarwaru-l-Mulk was intending to abandon. Malik ‘Imadu-l-Mulk on hearing of this despatched his brother Malik Ahmad from Tabarhinda to the fort of Dehalpur with orders to hold it. Shaikh ‘Ali becoming aware of this returned from that direction: Sultan Mubarak Shah proceeded as far as Samana in order to quell these disturbances.
