In this year Mīrzā Haidar the Mughul again invaded Kashmīr. He was with Humāyūn at Lahore, and obtained some assistance from him on promising, in the event of success, to govern Kashmīr as his vassal. He had with him no more than 400 horse, but was joined by Abdāl Mākarī and Zangī Chakk, who, having rebelled in Kamrāj, had been defeated by Kājī Chakk. His allies engaged Kājī Chakk's attention by threatening a frontal attack while he marching by Pūnch, where the passes were undefended, turned the enemy's right flank and, on November 22, 1540, entered Srīnagar unopposed.
