Shahrullah Kamboh (Persian: شهرالله کمبوه; 1529 – 11 November 1599), better known as Shahbaz Khan Kamboh (Persian: شاهباز خان کمبوه), was one of the leading generals of Mughal emperor Akbar.[2][3][4] He participated in some of the most difficult expeditions of Akbar and annexed numerous territories to the empire. The Mughal officials boasted that he conquered countries ten times the size of Deccan.[5] He was too orthodox a Sunni Muslim for Akbar's taste, but not only was he tolerated but also was greatly valued.[6] He was named "Mang Khan" (Urdu: منگ خان) by the people of Lahore meaning "ask the Khan and it will be done" In Punjabi due to his legendary generosity.[7] The very first 'guzar' in Lahore Fort was named Guzar Shahbaz Khan (Persian: گزر شاھباز خان) known locally as Guzar Mang Khan (Urdu: گزر منگ خان).[7]
