Trained as a physician, he rose in favour with Emperor Sh&#257h Jah&#257&#7749, who created him a <i>man&#347abd&#257r</i> of 5000 <i>z&#257t</i> and <i>sow&#257r</i> and appointed him governor of Lahore in 1628, which office he held until 1633. Waz&#299r <u>Kh</u>&#257n was a pious man and an admirer of Gur&#363 Arjan. He had, as says Bh&#257&#299 Santokh Si&#7749gh, <i>Sr&#299 Gur Prat&#257p S&#363raj Granth</i>, felt great relief listening to the Gur&#363's <i>Sukhman&#299</i> when suffering from dropsy. Since that day he had learnt to reverence Gur&#363 Arjan. His efforts to plead on behalf of Gur&#363 Arjan in Emperor Jah&#257&#7749g&#299r's court and shield him against the malice of Chand&#363 Sh&#257h had been in vain.</p> <p class="C1">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In 1633, Waz&#299r <u>Kh</u>&#257n, was transferred to &#256gr&#257 as governor. He died there in 1634.</p> </font> <p class="BIB"> BIBLIOGRAPHY<p class="C1"><ol class="C1"><li class="C1"><i>Gurbil&#257s P&#257tsh&#257h&#299 Chhevi&#7749</i>.
