Ayub Khan (1857 (Kabul) - April 7 1914 (Lahore) was also known as The Victor of Maiwand or The Afghan Prince Charlie and was, for a while, the governor of Herat. His father was Sher Ali Khan and his mother was the daughter of an influential Mohmand chief of Lalpura, Saadat Khan.

On September 1 1880 he was defeated and routed by General Frederick Roberts at the Battle of Kandahar, which saw the end of the Second Afghan War. A year later Ayub tried again to take Kandahar, this time from Abdur Rahman Khan, the Amir, but again failed. In 1888 Ayub Khan left Persia (now Iran), where he had escaped to, and became a pensioner in British India until his death in 1914. His body was interred near the shrine of Sheikh Habib at Durrani graveyard Peshawar.
