The History of Humāyūn (Gulbadan Begam) 154: CLXXIV. Sarv-qad and Sarv-i-Sahī.

154

Straight as a cypress, Pers. sarv, a cypress, and qad, form, or sahī, erect.
Sarv-i-sahī, to use Gul-badan’s word, was a singer and reciter. She belonged to the households both of Bābar and Humāyūn, and was subsequently married, with full nikāh, to Mun‘im khān Khān-khānān.
She acted as go-between of Mun‘im and Khān-i-zamān (‘Alī Qulī Uzbek Shaibānī) during the rebellion of the latter—probably in the tenth year of Akbar, and Bāyazīd calls her a reliable woman and the haram of the khān-i-khānān. She sang on the way to Lamghān by moonlight in 958H. (1551); she was with Mun‘im at the time of his death in Gaur (Safar, 983H.; 1575), and in Rajab of the same year accompanied Gul-badan to Makka.
