He therefore sent Malik 'Imadu-l Mulk to support them; and when that chief arrived, the officers in command were encouraged and strengthened. Shaikh 'Ali, marching quickly from Shor, entered the country on the banks of the Biyah, and after making prisoners of many of the men of Sahani-wal and other villages, he went on to Lahor. Malik Yusuf Sarwar, Malik Isma'il nephew of Majlis-i 'all Zirak Khan, and the son of Bihar Khan, had been left in charge of the fort of Lahor. They now closed the fort, and opposed the assailants. The people of the city were negligent of their watch and ward; consequently Malik Yusuf and Malik Isma'il left the city by night and fled. Shaikh 'Ali sent a force in pursuit. Many of the horsemen fell under the attacks of the accursed pursuers, and many were taken prisoners, including Malik Raja. Next day the accursed Shaikh 'Ali made all the Musulmans of the city, both men and women, prisoners. This wretched graceless fellow had no better object or occupation than to lay waste the seats of Islam and to make Musulmans captive. After making prisoners of the men of Lahor, he remained there for some days, and repaired the walls of the fortress which had been damaged. Then leaving about 2,000 men, horse and foot, behind, with the means of standing a siege, he marched towards Dibalpur. - [Previous: 7.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-mubarakshahi~en-elliot.7.33) - [Next: 7.35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-mubarakshahi~en-elliot.7.35) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-mubarakshahi~en-elliot.7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-mubarakshahi~en-elliot.7.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-mubarakshahi~en-elliot.7.34) · Pramāṇa
