==Early Life and education==
He was born in [[Shergarh, Punjab|Shergarh]], [[Sahiwal District|District Montgomery]], [[British India]] (now in [[Punjab (Pakistani province)|Punjab]], [[Pakistan]]). Jaffar received his education at the [[Aitchison College]], [[Lahore]] and the [[Government College Lahore]].

==Playing career==
In 1932 he was a member of the All India Field Hockey team that represented the country in the Los Angeles Olympics. The team won the gold medal. He played two matches as forward.

Four years later in 1936, he was again the member of the All India Field Hockey team. The team again won the gold medal. He played five matches as forward.

[[File:Jaffar shah tombstone.jpg|alt=Tombstone of Syed Mohammad Jaffar|thumb]]

The inscription on the gravestone reads
"Syed Mohammad Jaffar Shah Kirmani son of Syed Nawazish Hussain Shah Kirmani"
"Date of Birth: December 1911. Date of Death: March 1937"

"(Late) Syed Mohammad Jaffar was one of the greatest players of hockey, who was selected for 1928 for United India (All India) Olympics Hockey team but he could not participate in that global event due to his youthful age. In 1932 All India Hockey Team which participated in Los Angeles (USA) Olympics, he was considered one of the best players in the world on the position of "Left-Out", although he was one of the youngest. He participated once again in 1936 tournament in the global tournament as vice-captain. Out of magnanimity of his heart, he decided not to be a candidate for the captaincy in favour of [[Dhyan Chand]], although initially, he was being considered as captain of this victorious team because of his professionalism and skill level. He was not only a brilliant sportsman and a great representative (and an asset) of the country, he was also a figure of exemplary mannerism and conduct.

On a fateful evening in 1938, while on a hunting expedition on river Ravi near Lakho Dehar, he accidentally gave his life away to the river. He saddened his huge fan following and opted to respond to the call of the God."

"Gravestone laid down by Syed Javed Hassan son of (Late) Syed Mohammad Hassan"

An Urdu verse is also inscribed on the tombstone.

وہی جواں ہے قبیلے کی آنکھ کا تارا
شباب ہے جسکا بے داغ ظرب ہے کاری
