S. Beveridge) 33 - **Language:** English ### [33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.humayun.humayunnama~en-beveridge.33) Felicity of womanhood; Pers. bakht, felicity, fortune, and nisa', woman. She was a daughter of Humayun and Mah-chuchak, and was born in 957H. (1550). Gul-badan says that she received her name in accordance with Humayun's interpretation of a dream. There is, however, ground for thinking that she and Fakhru-n-nisa', both mentioned in the histories as daughters of Mah-chuchak, are one and the same person. Gul-badan enumerates three daughters of Mah-chuchak, and says that there were four. It is her habit to state, in such matters, one more than she names. She mentions Bakht, but not Fakhr. Of Bakhtu-n-nisa' it is recorded in the histories that she came from Kabul to India with her son Diwali, after the death of Mirza Muhammad Hakim, her brother (993H.—1584-85), and that she was concerned in a reconciliation effected by Salima-sultan Begam between Akbar and Salim. Of Fakhru-n-nisa it is recorded that she married Shah Abu’l-ma'ali Termizi and Khwaja Hasan Naqshbandi. Gul-badan, 71a Khafi Khan (Bib. Ind. ed.), i, 226 Badayuni, Lowe, 72 Akbar-nama, s.n.
