| Tombs of Kotla Mohsin Khan, Peshawar. |
Definite information about Kotla Mohsin Khan is lacking. Khyal Bukhari has collected all available materials in his edition of Diwan-i-Mazullah Khan. According to him his father Muhibullah Khan received a grant from the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. The present Kotla (i.e fortified residence) is known after Mohsin Khan. The latter was a cousin brother of Mazullah Khan, a Pashto poet, who was contemporary of Abdul Qadir Khan Khattak (1651-1702). It is not definitely known who are buried inside monumental domes tombs.

Munsi Gopal Das in his Tarikh-i-Peshawar (p-635) gives the lineage tree of Mohib Khel Arbabs of Mohmands in which Arbab Mohsin Khan is recorded to be a son of Arbab Mohibullah Khan and grandson of Arbab Mustajab Khan (contemporary of Khushal Khan Khattak). Arbab Moshin Khan was contemporary of King Timur Shah Durrani.
