ابو ظفر سِراجُ الْدین محمد بُہادر شاہ ظفر.......Bahadur Shah II

Only 1 Minute.
Bahadur Shah Zafar in 1858, just after his trial in Delhi and before his departure for exile in Rangoon. This is possibly the only photograph ever taken of a Mughal emperor.
Bahadur Shah II (Urdu: بہادر شاہ دوم), better known as Bahadur Shah Zafar, born Abu Zafar Sirajuddin Muhammad Bahadur Shah Zafar (Urdu: ابو ظفر سِراجُ الْدین محمد بُہادر شاہ ظفر), on 24 October 1775 – died 7 November 1862) was the last Mughal emperor and a member of the Timurid Dynasty. Zafar was the son of Akbar Shah II and Lalbai, who was a Hindu Rajput, and became Mughal Emperor when his father died on 28 September 1837. He used Zafar, a part of his name, meaning “victory”, as a nom de plume (takhallus) as an Urdu poet and wrote many Urdu ghazals under it. After his involvement in the Indian Rebellion of 1857 the British tried and then exiled him from Delhi and sent him to Rangoon in then-British-controlled Desi.
نہ کسی کی آنکھ کا نور ہوں نہ کسی کے دل کا قرار ہوں
جو کسی کے کام نہ آ سکے، میں وہ ایک مُشت غبار ہوں

میرا رنگ روپ بگڑ گیا، میرا یار مجھ سے بچھڑ گیا
جو چمن خزاں سے اجڑ گیا، میں اسی کی فصل بہار ہوں

پئے فاتحہ کوئی آئے کیوں، کوئی چار پھول چڑھائے کیوں
کوئی آ کے شمع جلائے کیوں، میں وہ بے کسی کا مزار ہوں

میں نہیں ہوں نغمہ، جاں فزا، مجھے سن کے کوئی کرے گا کیا
میں بڑے ہی روگ کی ہوں صدا، میں بڑے دکھی کی پکار ہوں

"بہادر شاہ ظفر"
Death and burial :
Bahadur Shah died in exile on 7 November 1862 in Rangoon, (now Yangon). He was buried in Yangon's Dagon Township near the Shwedagon Pagoda, at the site that later became known as Bahadur Shah Zafar Dargah. At the time of his hurried burial in 1862, a bamboo fence surrounded his grave, which was grown over by grass in the following years, thus the exact spot was lost for nearly a century. In 1991, during a restoration exercise behind the shrine which was till then believed to be that of the Emperor, the original brick-lined grave was discovered. To the local Myanmar Muslims, he was honoured as a saint and a new shrine was built in the coming years His wife Zeenat Mahal, who died in 1886 and granddaughter Raunaq Zamani are buried along side him.

In a marble enclosure adjoining the dargah of Sufi saint, Qutbuddin Bakhtiar Kaki at Mehrauli, an empty grave or Sardgah marks the site where he had willed to be buried along with some of his Mughal predecessors, Akbar Shah II, Bahadur Shah I (also known as Shah Alam I) and Shah Alam II.
