He then set seriously to work to exterminate the Niazis. When the Ghakkars had been rendered powerless, 'Azam Humayun went into the hill-country of Kashmir. Islam Shah encamped beneath Kaitdli-shahr, and designed to pursue the Niazis into Kashmir; while Mirza Haidar, the Governor of Kashmir, in order to gain Islam Shah's good-will, blocked up the road against the Niazis. 'Azam Humayun perceived that the King was coming in his rear, and that the Governor of Kashmir had closed the path on ahead ; being, therefore, unable to effect anything, he went to Rajauri. Islam Shah pursued the Niazis with the choicest of his troops as far as the village of Madad, in the territory of Naushahra, where he was terrified by the dangers and difficulties of the mountain passes, and thought that his best plan would be to make peace. With this view he sent Saiyid Khdn and 'Abdu-l Malik, who were two of his most trusted and confidential courtiers, with a letter to 'Azam Humayun and the other Niazis, counselling them to take a course by which their interests would be best benefited. 'Azam Humayun's son and mother were then surrendered as hostages to Islam Shah, and he, taking them with him, quitted the defiles of the hills, and encamped at Ban, a village near Sialkot. Muhammad Nazr and Sabr 'Ali, the King of Kashmir's governors in Rajauri, plotted to carry 'Azam Humayun into Kashmir, and expel Mirza Haidar thence.
