Daulat Khan was loyal to the dynasty but betrayed Ibrahim Lodhi due to his rigid, proud and suspicious nature.

[3] In 1523, Ibrahim Lodi, Daulat Khan's sovereign, was locked in a power struggle with his relatives and ministers.

On his return, Ghazi Khan warned his father that Ibrahim Lodi was planning to remove his governorship.

In response, Daulat Khan sent messengers to Babur in Kabul, offering his allegiance in exchange for assistance against the emperor.

Meanwhile, Daulat Khan and Ghazi, hearing of Babur's return, fled to the fortress of Milwat, to the north of Lahore.

Jai Ram found Guru Nanak employment at Daulat Khan Lodi's store and granaries as a keeper.
