Foster-sister of Tarkhan Begam, wife of Sultan Ahmad Mirza Miran-shahi; mother of four daughters: (1) Rabi'a (Qara-goz), (2) Saliqa (Aq), 'Ayisha (wife of Babar), (4) Sultanum.
She was married 'for love,' and Ahmad was 'proreligiously attached’ to her. She drank wine, her co-wives were neglected from fear of her. At length her husband put her to death, and ‘delivered himself from his reproach.’
