Ghāzī Khān, whose success secured for him the position which Daulat had held, deposed Ibrāhīm II in 1555, and placed on the throne his younger brother, Ismā‘īl Shāh. The quarrels between chieftains of the Chakk tribe continued throughout his brief reign of two years and that of his son and successor, Habīb Shāh, who was raised to the throne on his father’s death in 1557, but Ghāzī Khān retained his supremacy and in 1558 crushed the serious rebellion of Yūsuf Chakk, who was supported by Shāh Abu-’l-Ma‘ālī, recently escaped from Lahore, where he had been imprisoned by Akbar, and Kamāl Khān the Gakhar. In 1559 Ghāzī Khān executed his own son Haidar, who was conspiring against him and had murdered the agent whom he had sent to advise him to mend his ways; and in the following year crushed another serious rebellion supported by Mughuls and Gakhars from the Punjab.
