description: "Mir Muhammad Masoom Shah Bakhri, also known as Syed Nizamuddin Mir Muhammad Masoom Shah, was a sixteenth-century Sindhi Muslim historian from Bakhar, Sindh. He is known for writing a history of Sindh, Tarikh i Sind, published in ca. 1600. He was also a trusted lieutenant of the Mughal emperor Akbar. In around 1595, he led Akbar's army in a battle against the Panni Afghans' stronghold of Sibi in northwest Quetta, resulting in Baluchistan being annexed into the Mughal empire. In 1598, he was appointed the governor of Sind and Sibi by Akbar."
