What was the Persian saying about Shah Alam II's depleted power?

  • Sultanat-e-Shah Alam, Az Dilli ta Palam

  • Shah Alam, the mighty lion

  • Shah from Delhi to Agra

  • The last ray of Mughal empire

Answer

The Persian saying "Sultanat-e-Shah Alam, Az Dilli ta Palam" translates to "The Kingdom of Shah Alam, From Delhi to Palam". This saying was used to mock the depleted power of the Mughal emperor Shah Alam II, who ruled over a small territory in Delhi and its surrounding areas.
