Pers. Nahid, the name of the mother of Alexander; a name for the planet Venus, etc.
Daughter of Mah-chuchak Arghun by her marriage, as a captive of Babar, with his foster-brother Qasim; wife of Muhibb-'ali Barlas.
When her mother, resenting her position in a misalliance, ran away, Nahid, then eighteen months old, remained in Kabul.
When her mother was imprisoned in Sind by Muhammad Baqi Tarkhan, Nahid escaped to Bhakkar, and was protected, till her return to Akbar's court, by Sultan Mahmud Bhakkari (975 H.).
She was at Hindal's wedding feast. Much of her story is contained in the Introduction of this volume.
