Beg made Sibi liis capital for some time, and it is probable that he and not 

 Chakar really built the old fort there (Erskine's Baber and Huniajun. Ed. 

 1854, Vol. I, pp. 342, 347, 348.) There is no record of any collision 

 between Humayun and the Baloches except during his flight in A. D. 1543, 

 when he seems to have been plundered by tliem in the Bolan Pass. (Baber 

 and Humayiin, Vol. II. p. 26G) and again fell in with them between Kan- 

 dahar and Sistau (p. 271). This is perhaps sufficient for the introduction 

 of his name into the legends. Zunu, the Turk leader, perhaps stands for 

 Zulnuu Beg in whose name Shah Beg fought. 



The Quarrel of Mir Clidkar and Qwaliardm. 



[This poem also seems from its language to be an old one. It de- 

 scribes the causes of the division between the Binds and Lasharis, the two 

 sections into one of which all true Baloches fall. Tiie Binds were under 

 Chakar, the Lasharis under Gwaharam. Finally Chakar in disgust emi- 

 grated to the Panjab, and settled at Satghar in the Lahore District, where 

 he died and is said to be buried.]
