He was only 18 years old when his father instructed him to lead a mission to Kabul in January 1775, to seek help against the Sikhs who had conquered Multan in 1772 and had been besieging Shujabad.

In 1818, Kharak Singh and Hindu Commander Misr Diwan Chand arms troops lay around Multan without making much initial headway.

The Maharaja directed his son to pay full attention to the advice of Misr Diwan Chand[4] Muzaffar urged the majority of the Muslim population of the city of Multan to fight a war against the Sikhs and Hindus.

However, the tactics of Nawab Muzaffar Khan failed as the Sikh armies were able to suppress the revolt of the Multan population.

In the battle, Misr Diwan Chand led the Sikh armies to victory over Nawab Muzaffar Khan.
