Yūsuf left Kashmīr, and on January 2, 1580, appeared before Akbar at Fathpur-Sīkrī, and sought his aid. In August he left the court armed with an order directing the imperial officers in the Punjab to assist him in regaining his throne. His allies were preparing to take the field when many of the leading nobles of Kashmīr, dreading an invasion by an imperial army, sent him a message promising to restore him to his throne if he would return alone. He entered Kashmīr and was met at Baramgalla by his supporters. Lohar Chakk was still able to place an army in the field and sent it to Baramgalla, but Yūsuf, evading it, advanced by another road on Sopur, where he met Lohar Chakk and, on November 8, 1580, defeated and captured him, and regained his throne.
