Babur's narrative, but it may have been in this year that 'Alam Khan went in person to Kabul and there was promised help against Ibrahim.
e. Birth of Gul-badan.
Either in this year or the next was born Dil-dar's third daughter Gul-badan, the later author of an Humayun-nama written at her nephew Akbar's command in order to provide information for the Akbar-nama.
930 AH. NOV. 10th 1523 TO OCT. 29th 1524 AD. a. Babur's fourth expedition to Hindustan.
This expedition differs from all earlier ones by its co-operation with Afghan malcontents against Ibrahim Ludi, and by having for its declared purpose direct attack on him through reinforcement of 'Alam Khan.
Exactly when the start from Kabul was made is not found stated ; the route taken after fording the Indus, was by the sub-montane road through the Kakar country ; the Jlhlam and Chln-ab were crossed and a move was made to within io miles of Lahor.
Lahor was Daulat Khan's head-quarters but he was not in it now; he had fled for refuge to a colony of Biluchls, perhaps towards Multan, on the approach against him of an army of Ibrahim's under Bihar Khan Ludi. A battle ensued between Babur and Bihar Khan ; the latter was defeated with great slaughter ; Babur's t.-oops followed his fugitive men into Lahor, plundered the town and burned some of the bazars.
Four days were spent near Lahor, then move south was made to Dlbalpur which was stormed, plundered and put to the sword. The date of this capture is known from an incidental remark of Babur about chronograms (f. 325),. to be mid-Rabl'u'l-awwal 93° AH. {circa Jan. 22nd 1524 AD.).1 From Dlbalpur a start was made for Sihrind but before this could be reached news arrived which dictated return to Lahor.
