Nusrat Khan's tomb is located at a distance of approximately ½ mile northwest of Zafar Jang Kokaltash's tomb in the Railway Workshops property. It is a rather simple but massive structure, built entirely of small Lahori bricks without the use of stone or Kashi Kari. It has an ornamental niche decoration on its façade and pigeon-holes in a schematic way on its dome. The double shell dome is raised over a circular drum. There is a clear evidence of tendency towards the evolution of a bulbous dome. The monotony of the circular drum is broken by rectangular panels set back slightly. On the eastern side, the drum has been pierced with a small window giving an entry to the cavity between the two shells. On the inside, the top part of the inner shell has collapsed.

At the top of the dome, there can been seen the remains of a lotus base for a pinnacle that is no longer extant. The tomb suffered extensive damage during the reign of Ranjit Singh when the marble embellishments were removed. The tomb was also used as a private residence by General Court, a member of Ranjit Singh's army. General Court added many rooms to the building but they had all been destroyed by the early 1890s. It was further damaged during the British time when it was turned into a hall room for military officers. The recessed archway on the northern side was widened by breaking its sides and another hall with slanting roof was added to it. Though the additions were destroyed later on but enough harm had already been done to the dome. The breakage of the northern archway weakened the structure as one-eighth of the drum was left without any support, hence, big cracks appeared in the north western archways and big portions of masonry fell off. The octagonal structure was topped by turrets of much elegance and beauty which have disappeared since the time Latif recorded their account in 1892.

Nawab Nusrat Khan alias Khawaja Sabir belonged to a distinguished family of nobles and received the title of Khan-e-Dauran from Shah Jahan. He died at Lahore in 1659 and the present mausoleum was raised to his memory by Aurangzeb.
