Khwaja Sabir, Nasiri Khan or Khan-i-Dauran was an Indian Muslim viceroy of the Deccan and one of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan’s leading sardars.

[3] According to Athar Ali, Khan-i Dauran was born in India, and as he belonged to the Hindustani Shaikhzadgan group of nobles, he was an Indian Muslim,[4] the son of Khwaja Hisari, a member of the Naqshbandi order.

He was joined by the Mir Bakhshi, Shaikh Farid Murtaza Khan, an Indian Muslim from Delhi, and patronized in such a way that "this servant was protected from transfers and paucity of jagirs and mansabs".

[8] He served Shah Jahan obsequiously, remaining a loyal supporter of the prince during his rebellion against his father, Emperor Jahangir.

After Malik Ambar's death, he remained in the Nizam Shahi service until the second regnal year of Shah Jahan, when he presented himself at the Mughal court.

[5][6] In 1637, Kok Shah, the Gond raja of Deogarh had defaulted in payment of tribute to the Mughals and had given safe passage to the rebel Jhujhar Singh.

[12] When Khan Dauran was halted within two miles of the town in the night, he was stabbed in the belly by one of his personal attendants, a Kashmiri youth of the Brahmin caste, whom he had taken from Kashmir and converted to Islam.

[6] Shah Jahan ordered for his remains to be buried in the family vault at Gwalior, and gave his sons more than Khan Dauran had willed.
