He fled through the Punjab, fruitlessly pursued by the imperial troops, and was kindly received at Kābul by Māh Chūchak Begam, who gave him her daughter, Fakhr-un-Nisa Begam, in marriage. She soon had reason to repent her courtesy to the turbulent and ambitious Sayyid, who formed a party of the malcontents in the state, put to death his benefactress and her agent, Haidar Qāsim Kūhbur, and took the management of affairs into his own hands. The young prince Muhammad Hakīm now secretly appealed for aid to Mīrzā Sulaimān of Badakhshān, who marched on Kābul. Shāh Abu-'l-Ma'ālī, carrying with him the prince, went forth to meet him, but during the battle which ensued the prince found an opportunity of escaping to the enemy and the Kābulīs, seeing that he had taken refuge with Mīrzā Sulaimān, dispersed. Shāh Abu-’l-Ma‘ālī fled, but was pursued, taken and hanged on 13 May, 1564.
