v3.c29.22

Ibrāhīm retired to Gulbarga, where he was joined by Daryā 'Imād Shāh, who had succeeded his father in Berar in 1529, and Burhān and Amīr 'Alī occupied and burnt the city of Bījāpur, but abandoned the siege of its citadel in order to pursue Ibrāhīm. As they approached Gulbarga, Asad Khān, with his 6000 horse, deserted them and joined his master, and Ibrāhīm and Daryā thus reinforced, compelled Burhān and Amīr 'Alī to retire towards Bīr, and followed them closely. From Bīr they were driven to the hills above Daulatābād where, in 1542, Amīr 'Alī Barīd died, and was succeeded in Bīdar by his son 'Alī Barīd Shāh. Burhān purchased peace by the retrocession of Sholāpur and a promise never again to molest Bījāpur.
