v4.c12.s3.6

The Lodī army sent against Daulat Khān under the leadership of Bihār Khān encountered Bābur's army near Lahore and was utterly defeated, and Bābur found himself master of that city, a victory which he quickly followed up by the capture of Dipālpur, where he was joined by Daulat Khān and his two sons Ghāzī and Dilāwar. Instead of handing over Lahore to Daulat Khān, Bābur only presented him with Jullundur and Sultānpur as assignments. Daulat Khān was naturally disgusted and went into hiding with his son Ghāzī, intending to take the first opportunity which might offer of regaining what he had lost. Dilāwar Khān, who had acted treacherously towards his father, was now given Sultānpur and the title of Khān Khānān.
