The Niyāzīs, finding that the Gakkhars could no longer afford them a secure refuge, retreated to Kashmīr and there intervened in the dispute between Mīrzā Haidar, the conqueror and ruler of Kashmīr, and the Chakk tribe. The Chakk tribe was eventually victorious and afterwards attacked Haibat Khān and his force of Niyāzīs. The Niyāzīs, though they defended themselves valiantly, Bībī Rābi‘a, Haibat Khān’s wife, fighting like a man, were outnumbered and overpowered and all were slain.
