Shah Jahan II (June 1696 – 19 September 1719), born Mirza Rafi-ud-Daulah (Persian: میرزا رفیع الدوله), was the twelfth Mughal emperor for a brief period in 1719. After being chosen by a brotherhood of nobles known as the Sayyids of Barha, he succeeded his short-lived brother Rafi-ud-Darajat in that year. The Sayyid Brothers were the de-facto rulers of the Empire, while Shah Jahan II ruled as a figurehead. Like his brother, he died of tuberculosis and was buried in the dargah of Qutb-ud-Din Bakhtiyar Kaki.
