Which of the following historians of Shah Jahans period was the court chronicler?

Abdul Hamid Lahori was the official court chronicler of Emperor Shah Jahan, commissioned to write the 'Padshahnama' (or Badshahnama) [t2][t3]. He was specifically chosen by the Emperor for his elegant prose style, which he modeled after Abul Fazl [t5]. His work covers the first twenty years of Shah Jahan's reign in great detail [t3][t5]. While Muhammad Amin Qazwini (also known as Amin Qazurini) was the first to be appointed and wrote about the first decade, Lahori is widely recognized as the primary and most celebrated official historian of the period [t2][t3]. Other figures like Inayat Khan and Muhammad Salih (author of 'Amal-i Salih') were contemporary historians who wrote supplementary or independent accounts of the reign, but Lahori held the formal status of the Emperor's designated biographer for the major official record [t2][t3].
