Leaving Mīrzā Kāmrān, then a mere child, in nominal charge of Kābul and Qandahār, Bābur set out over the Indus river to Siālkot. On his march he was joined first by Humāyūn with the troops from Badakhshān, and later on the same day by Khvāja Kilān with the Ghaznī troops. It was at Siālkot that Bābur heard of ‘Ālam Khān's failure to take Delhi. Daulat Khān and Ghāzī, on learning of Bābur's approach, fled to the fortress of Milwat (Malot) north of Lahore. Bābur blockaded Milwat on every side and Daulat Khān, seeing no hope of escape, capitulated.¹ Daulat Khān died on the way to Bhera, where he was to have been imprisoned. ‘Ālam Khān again fled to Bābur, bringing with him a certain number of his scattered troops, who had suffered severely at the hands of Ibrāhīm. He arrived on foot and nearly destitute.
