The History of Mubārak Shāh 7.2

7.2

When he heard of the death of Khizr Khan, he passed the rivers Biyah and Satladar (Sutlej), with a body of horse and foot, and attacked Rai Kamalu-d din Main, at Talwandi. Rai Firoz fled before him towards the desert. Jasrath next plundered the country, from the town of Ludhiyana to the neighbourhood of Arubar (Rupar), on the Sutlej. Some days after, he re-crossed the river, and proceeded to Jalandhar. Zirak Khan withdrew into the fort, and Jasrath Khokhar pitched his camp three kos from the town, on the bank of the Beni. Negociations went on between them, and terms of capitulation were agreed upon by both parties. The fort was to be evacuated and given into the charge of Tughan. Majlis-i 'all Zirak Khan was to take a son of Tughan to wait upon the Sultan, and Jasrath was to send tribute, and return home. On the 2nd Jumada-l akhir, Zirak Khan came out of the fort of Jalandhar, and was conducted to Jasrath Khokhar, who was drawn up ready to receive him with his whole force. When Jasrath saw Zirak Khan in his power, he forgot his promise, and carefully guarding him, carried him off a prisoner over the Sutlej, to the town of Ludhiyana. From thence he marched on the 20th Jumada-l akhir, to Sirhind, where he arrived in the middle of the rainy season. Malik Sultan Shah Lodi took refuge in the fort, and although Jasrath made great exertions, God guarded the fortress, and Jasrath failed to take it.
