The History of Mubārak Shāh 5.13

5.13

Some days afterwards, Khizr Khan, who had fled in fear of Timur to the mountains of Mewat, Bahadur Nahir, Mubarak Khan, and Zirak Khan, by the favour of Amir Timur, were admitted to an interview, but, with the exception of Khizr Khan, they were all put into prison. From Dehli, Timur returned by the skirts of the hills, and made prisoners of those people who had remained in the hills. When he arrived at Lahor, he plundered the city, and he made Shaikha Khokhar prisoner, with his wives and children, and all those who had taken refuge with him. This Shaikha Khokhar, through enmity to Sarang Khan, had early joined Timur, and had acted as his guide, in return for which he had received mercy and favour. Timur granted the fiefs of Multán and Díbalpúr to Khizr Khán, and sent him thither. Then he marched through Kábul to his own territories, and arrived at his capital, Samarkand.
