'''Mirza Jawan Bakht''' (1841 – 18 September 1884) was the son of Emperor [[Bahadur Shah Zafar]] and [[Zeenat Mahal]]. He was the fifteenth son of his father, but the only son of his mother. She nursed the ambition of placing him on the Mughal throne.<br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
His mother, Zeenat Mahal, saved him all through [[1857 rebellion]] and kept him in safe custody. She began promoting her son as heir to the throne over the Emperor's remaining eldest son [[Mirza Fath-ul-Mulk Bahadur]]. But due to the [[primogeniture]] policy of the British, this was not accepted. <br />
<br />
On 2 April 1852, at the age of eleven, he was married in a grand ceremony in Delhi to Nawab Shah Zamani Begum, his mother's niece. His mother planned his lavish 10-day wedding to elevate his stature for the throne.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/22/books/chapters/0422-1st-dalr.html|title=‘The Last Mughal’|last=Dalrymple|first=William|date=2007-04-22|work=The New York Times|access-date=2019-02-05|language=en-US|issn=0362-4331}}</ref> His wife, Shah Zamani Begum died in July 1899.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.thehindu.com/features/metroplus/emperors-daughterinlaw/article5593548.ece|title=‘Emperor’s daughter-in-law|last=Smith|first=R.V.|date=2016-05-13|work=The Hindu|access-date=2021-06-11|language=en-US}}</ref><br />

After the death of his imperial father in [[Rangoon]], he was buried there. Jawan Bakht and his teacher Hafiz Mohammed Ibrahim Dehlavi arranged the funeral prayers and burial. <br />
