ʿAbd-al-Ḥamīd Lāhūrī (Persian: عبدالحمید لاہوری; died 1654) was a 17th-century traveller and historian during the reign of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahān who later became a court historian for the emperor. He wrote the Pādshāh-nāma, the official chronicle of the Shah Jahān's reign. He has described Shah Jahān's life and activities during the first twenty years of his reign in this book in great detail. Infirmities of old age prevented him from proceeding with the third decade, which was later chronicled by Muḥammad Wārith, his pupil.[1][2]
