Sister of Bairam Oghlan and of Faridun Khan Kabuli.
She married Humayun in 1546. She had two sons, Muhammad Hakim (born 960H. — 1553) and Farrukh-fal. Gul-badan says she had four daughters and then, with discrepancy frequently found in her writings, names three: Bakht-nisa', Sakina-banu, and Amina-banu. The name of the best-known of her girls, Fakhru-n-nisa', is omitted.
Mah-chuchak's story is told by her sister-in-law, in the Introduction of this volume, by Mr. Blochmann and by several Persian writers.
She was murdered by Shah Abu'l-ma'ali in Kabul in 1564.
