Co incidentally Lahore was ransacked on multiple occasions before the 12th Century but after it finally fell to the Moghuls it remained largely in Moghul hands till the late 19th century.

Perhaps later invaders simply bypassed it or the defenders being Muslim simply accepted any Muslim overlord much easier than Delhi becuase Delhi was by then considered the true capital.

I find it perplexing that men like Nadir Shah did not have to fight anyone to gain control… perhaps the garrsons surrendered without a fight?

I think people of Lahore and adjoining areas like Amitsar gave peaceful way to the invaders from Lahore, because they knew any resistence to the troops would cast them their wrath. It is interesting to note that people of the area specially Sikhs looted the looters on their way back to home
