Muhammad Saleh Kamboh Lahori was a noted Punjabi Muslim[1] calligraphist and official biographer of Emperor Shah Jahan and the teacher of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. Though a widely read person,[2] little is known of the life of Muhammad Saleh Kamboh other than the works he composed. He was son of Mir Abdu-lla, Mushkin Kalam, whose title shows him to also have been a fine writer.[3] He is believed to be younger brother of Inayat-Allah Kamboh[4] and worked as a Shahi Dewan (Minister) with the governor of Lahore. He held the title of Sipahsalar.
