Mubārak, on receiving news of these calamities, acted with unusual vigour and decision, and, having dispatched Sarvar-ul-Mulk in advance, with a force sufficient to check, if not to crush, Fūlād, left Delhi, in January, 1432, for Lahore. The sudden flight of his enemies occasioned a modification of his plans. Jasrat raised the siege of Lahore and fled into the mountains, carrying with him his captive, Sikandar Tuhfa, and Shaikh ‘Alī evacuated Talamba and retreated to Shorkot. Mubārak advanced no further, but bestowed the fief of Lahore on Nusrat Khān Gurgandāz and sent Sarvar-ul-Mulk to Lahore to escort the family of Sikandar to Delhi.
