He was imprisoned in the palace-prison of Salimgarh Fort after his father's defeat to his brother, emperor Bahadur Shah I, in the Mughal war of succession in 1709. He remained imprisoned until his death on 29 January 1747, during the reign of emperor Muhammad Shah.

His only son Prince Muhi ul-Millat was raised the throne in December 1759 as Shah Jahan III by the Grand Vizier Imad-ul-Mulk and the Marathas, but was deposed the following year after their defeat at the Battle of Panipat.[1]
