During the rule of his brother Mohammad Shah Qajar (r. 1834–1848), Firuz Mirza had a prosperous political and military career. This continued under his nephew Naser al-Din Shah Qajar (r. 1848–1896), who appointed him to multiple governorships and other leading positions. He was also a scholar and an expert with the kamancheh, a bowed string instrument.[1]

The current Firuz and Farmanfarmaian families are descended from the offspring of Firuz Mirza and his wife Homa Khanom, the granddaughter of Fath-Ali Shah Qajar (r. 1797–1834).[1] One of them were their son Abdol-Hossein Farman Farma.[2]
