Jehangir
💡 Explanation:

The name Jahangir is from Persian meaning Conqueror of the World. He was a contemporary of Sikh guru, Guru Arjan Dev ji. Jahangir died near Sarai Sadabad in 1627. Jahangir's elegant mausoleum is located in the Shahdara locale of Lahore and is a popular tourist attraction in Lahore.
It should be noted that Aurangzeb took the title 'Alamgir', which also means 'Conqueror of the World'. But, it was not his original name, rather an adopted title.
