Rafi- ud- Daulah (رفی الدولت) also known as Shah Jahan II (شاه جہان ۲) (born 1696) was Mughal emperor for a brief period in 1719. He succeeded his short-lived brother Rafi Ul-Darjat in that year, being proclaimed Badshah by the Syed Brothers. Despite this, he was never allowed to venture out of the Red Fort. A major event during his reign was the defeat of his uncle Neku Siyar in August 1719 and the recapture of Agra Fort. The Syed Brothers then looted Agra and seized a large amount of wealth which once had been the personal possessions of Shah Jahan's favourite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Like his brother, he also died in September 1719 at Delhi as a result of Lung Cancer.
