Daniyal Mirza (11 September 1572 – 19 March 1605[1]) was a prince of the Mughal Empire who served as the Viceroy of the Deccan.[2] He was the third son of the emperor Akbar and the half-brother of the emperor Jahangir.
Daniyal was Akbar's favourite son, as well as an able general.[3][4] Like his father, he had fine taste in poetry and was an accomplished poet himself, writing in Hindi and Persian.[5] He died from problems relating to alcoholism at the age of thirty-two, predeceasing Akbar by seven months.
