Life
Saniz Mirza succeeded his father upon his death in 1457 or 1458. Choosing to establish himself in Yarkand, he gave Kashgar and Yangi Hisar to his brother Muhammad Haidar Mirza and the latter's mother Urun Sultan Khanim.
As a supporter of the Moghul khan Yunus Khan, Saniz Mirza soon came into conflict with his brother, who supported Yunus' rival Dost Muhammad Khan. As a result, Muhammad Haidar fled to Aksu, which was under the control of Dost Muhammad, while Saniz Mirza regained control of Kashgar.
In 1464 or 1465 Saniz Mirza was wounded in a hunting accident. He soon died of his wounds; upon his death Dost Muhammad came down to Yarkand and demanded Saniz Mirza's widow, who he married upon her surrender. He also received the latter's children (including Mirza Abu Bakr), whom he brought back with him to Aksu.
The Dughlat historian Mirza Muhammad Haidar characterized Saniz Mirza as a "violent, but generous man".

“Man staggers through life yapped at by his reason, pulled and shoved by his appetites, whispered to by fears, beckoned by hopes. Small wonder that what he craves most is self-forgetting.”
