Brahman served as a secretary (Munshi) to the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan (1628–1658).
As a poet, Chandar Bhan managed to write very complex metaphors in an otherwise very straightforward language.
By his time, the Persian Muslim lover calling himself an idol-worshipper with tongue in cheek (even when he/she meant the love of God) had become a cliché already, but Chandar Bhan added a new twist to it because it was also fact with him.
Brahman was appointed as court secretary and he was given responsibility for maintaining Shah Jahan's personal diary.
