Beg was part of Humayun's forces when they retreated from India after the siege by [[Sher Shah Suri|Sher Shah]]. He remained with his leader throughout his exile in [[Persia]].

It is reported that he was disliked by both the troops and generals and was eventually killed for cowardice by [[Bairam Khan]].

Beg is said to have refused to give up his horse for the heavily pregnant Hamida, wife of Humayun, when she was eight months pregnant with her son [[Akbar]]. He is also said to have charged Humayun 20% [[Usury|interest]] on a loan. Beg was further accused of deserting the city of [[Agra]] as soon as [[Hemu]]'s forces approached.

The truth of these allegations is difficult to gauge as most were written after his death and following the great successes of [[Bairam Khan]], his executor. The allegations therefore may have been created to justify the action taken by Bairam.<ref>{{cite book|last=Tripathi|first=Ram Prasad|title=Rise and Fall of the Mughal Empire|year=1960|edition=2nd|pages=158–177|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=uK8qAAAAYAAJ }}</ref>
