He was a nominal Emperor, as the Mughal Empire existed in name only and his authority was limited only to the walled city of Old Delhi.

Baat Karni Mujhe Mushkil Kabhi Aisii Tou Na Thi
Jaisii Ab Hai Teri Mehfil Kabhi Aisii Tou Na Thi
Le Gaya Chhiin Ke kaun Ajj Tera Sabr-O-Qarar,
Beqarai Tujhe Ai Dil kabhi Aisii Tou Na Thi
Chashm-E-Qaatil Merii Dushman Thii Hameshaa Lekin,
Jaise Ab Ho Gayi Qaatil Kabhii Aisii To Na Thii
Unki Aankhon Ne khuda Jaane Kia Kya aadu,
Ke tabiyat meri maa_il Kabhi aisi tou na thee
