Mirza Mu'izz-ud-Din Beg Muhammad Khan (10 May 1661 – 11 February 1713),[4][5] better known by his title Jahandar Shah (lit. 'The Owner of the World', Persian pronunciation: [d͡ʒaˈhɑːn.ˈdɑːr ʃɑːh]), was briefly the ninth Mughal emperor from 1712 to 1713. He was the son of Emperor Bahadur Shah I, and the grandson of Emperor Aurangzeb.
Jahandar Shah was the first puppet ruler of the Mughal dynasty, having been placed on the throne by powerful noble Zulfiqar Khan. His reign was short and turbulent, lasting less than a year. He was deposed by the Sayyid brothers and succeeded by his nephew Farrukhsiyar.
