The Battle of Sampagha pass or the Battle of Tirah took place in 1619 between the forces of the Mughal Empire under Mahabat Khan and the tribal followers of the Roshani movement led by Ihdad and his Orakzai allies in the Tirah Valley. The battle resulted in a decisive defeat for the Mughals, marking one of the most significant Pashtun victories against Mughal incursions during the reign of Emperor Jahangir.
