Herat's forces to withdraw just as the Afghans did. Nawaz Khan was not happy at these requests and ordered his army to march on Maimana. Nawaz Khan arrived within a days march of Maimana before Hukumat Khan sent Iskander Ahmad and Mohammad Omar to Nawaz Khan, alongside Dilawar Khan. The two Jamshidi brothers were pardoned, however, Dilawar Khan was imprisoned and Nawaz Khan's anger at Hukumat Khan was not alleviated. When Hukumat Khan heard of his son being imprisoned, he completely broke ties with Herat and refused to further submit tribute. Nawaz Khan's force arrived at the city and attempted to force themselves into it, which was met by a Sortie from Maimana's cavalry, who defeated the armies of Nawaz Khan, killing two hundred men, and mortally wounding one of Ahmad Khan's brothers.

In 1862, Hukumat Khan was toppled in a coup by Muhammad Hasim Khan, his younger half brother. Hukumat Khan was awaken from his sleep and tried to escape to the safety of the citadel's rooftop. However, he was met by Hasim Khan, who plunged
