The History of Mubārak Shāh 5.25

5.25

Daulat Khan Lodi had been sent against Samana, which, after the murder of Bahram Khan Turk-bacha, had been taken possession of by Bairam Khan. On the 11th Rajab, 809, a battle was fought between them about two kos from Samana, and Daulat Khan was victorious. Bairam Khan fled to Sirhind, but after a time, Daulat Khan forgave him and patronized him. Bairam Khan had previously made an engagement with Khizr Khan, and had promised to serve him, so when Khizr Khan heard of the capture of Samana, he proceeded with a strong force against Daulat Khan. On his reaching Fathabad, Daulat Khan fled across the Jumna, and all the amirs and maliks who had been connected with him joined Khizr Khan. He confided the shikk of Hisar Firozah to Kiwam Khan, and the fiefs of Samana and Sannam were taken from Bairam Khan and granted to Zirak Khan, the fief of Sirhind and some other parganas were given to Bairam Khan, and Khizr Khan then returned to Fathpur. Bayana, the Doab, and the fief of Ruhtak, were all that now remained in the possession of Sultan Mahmud.
