Sayyid Makhdum was given the title of Sharzah Khan II. He resisted the Afghan faction's dominance in Bijapur and fought their leader, Wazir Bahol Khan, in March 1676. In 1678–79, he quarrelled with Siddi Masaud, the new wazir, and finally joined the Mughal army under Dilir Khan. The Mughal Emperor granted him the title of Rustam Khan, but he was later captured by the Marathas near Satara in May 1690 and again in January 1704.

Elder son of Sharzah Khan I.
