Nawab Zahid Khan, first Nawab of Multan, was an able man of gentle manners and considerable learning. He was appointed Nawab of Multan in 1738, when Nadir Shah invaded India. In 1747 Ahmad Shah Durrani invaded India and confirmed him in his appointment, but the government in Delhi instead appointed Shahnawaz Khan to supersede him as Governor. He died in 1749 in battle at Multan.
