Dilazak is a Pashtuns tribe from Karlani Division of Afghans.
History
Around 1520, a Pashtun tribe, the
Yusufzai, was expelled from
Kabul Province by Mirza Ulugh Beg, a
Timurid Empire ruler and paternal uncle of the Mughal Emperor
Babur.
["The Pathans" by Olaf Caroe Page 153,173/174] The Yusufzai migrated to
Peshawar valley where they sought and received help from the Dilazak.

Katlang, the
Yusufzai and Allied forces pushed the Dilazak east of the
Indus River under the leadership of Malik Ahmed Khan.
