Jam Mubarak Khan Qabulio Sammo (Darya Khan Lashari[1], Darya Khan Qabulio Sammo[citation needed] (Sindhi: دريا خان قبوليو)), was a general of the Samma Dynasty of Sindh, a statesman and regent at the court of Samma ruler Jam Feroz.[citation needed]

Darya Khan may have belonged to Qabooliyo tribe of Samma[2][unreliable source?][3][unreliable source?] or a Lashari Baloch[1] and the adopted son and prime minister of Jam Nizamuddin II.[4][unreliable source?] Darya Khan Sammo became the 'Dollah' (Hero) of Sindh. On his deathbed, Jam Nizamuddin, entrusted Darya Khan to care for his kingdom, his treasures, his family, and his son Jam Feroz.

Darya Khan was killed in action in the Battle of Fatehpur when an arrow struck his throat, thus ending the reign of Jam Feroz as an independent ruler.[citation needed]
