Abdāl Mākarī enthroned Nāzuk Shāh at Nowshera in 1527, and advanced on Srīnagar, which he occupied. After dismissing his Mughul allies with handsome presents he sent to Loharkot for Muhammad Shāh, and in 1529 enthroned him for the fourth time. Malik Kājī Chakk made an attempt to regain his supremacy, but was defeated and fled to the Indian plains. He returned shortly afterwards, and joined Abdāl in defending their country against a force sent to invade it by Kāmrān Mīrzā, the second son of Bābur. The Mughuls were defeated and retired into the Punjab.
