Mausoleum and Minarat of Mir Muhammad Masoom Shah Bakhri also known as Syed Nizamuddin Mir Muhammad Masoom Shah was a sixteenth-century Sindhi Muslim historian, physician and pharmacist from Bakhar, Sindh (modern-day Pakistan). He is known for writing a history of Sindh, Tarikh i Sind (also known as, Tarikh i Masumi, after the author), 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. Subsequently, in 1598, he was appointed the governor of Sind and Sibi by Akbar.
