LXVII. Gul-barg Begam Barlās. (No. 49.)
The rose-leaf princess; Pers. barg, leaf.
Daughter of Niāmu-d-dīn 'Alī Barlās, Bābar's Khalīfa; niece, therefore, of Sulān Junaid Barlās, a brother-in-law of Bābar. (Cf. Shahr-bānū.) She may be the child of that Sulānam who received Gul-badan at Kūl-jalālī. (14a) She married, first, Mīr Shāh Ḥusain Arghūn, in 930H. (1524). The alliance was not happy and a separation took place. She appears to have remarried Humāyūn at some time before the defeat at Chausa (1539). She was with him subsequently in Sind, and from there went with Sulānam to Makka previous to 1543.
She was buried in Dihlī. Mīr Ma'ṣūm writes of her death: ‘She entrusted her soul to the guardians of the hour of death, and the leaves (gul-barg) of the rose-bush of her life were dispersed by the boisterous wind of mortality.’

LXIX. Gul Begam. (No. 30.)

She was at the Mystic Feast, and may be one of the various ladies of the rose who are entered infra.
Gul-badan, 25b.
LXX. Gul-chihra Begam Mīrān-shāhī. (No. 45.)
The rosy-cheeked princess; Pers. chihra, face.
Daughter of Bābar and Dil-dār; their second child, and born between 1515 and 1517. She was full-sister of Gul-rang, Hindāl, and Gul-badan.
She married Bābar's first cousin (a son of his mother's brother Aḥmad), Sulān Tūkhta-būghā Khān Chaghatāī Mughal. The marriage was arranged by Bābar, and took place in 937H. (end of 1530). She would then be about fourteen years old.
She was widowed cir. 940H. (1533), and nothing as to her remarriage is recorded until 956H. (1549), when she was over thirty years old. It is improbable that she remained a widow so many years. (Cf. App. s.n. Salīma-sulān.) In 956H. she entered upon what looks like a mariage de raison with 'Abbās Sulān Uzbeg, just before Humāyūn set out on his expedition for Balkh. The bridegroom came to suspect that the Tīmūrid army was about to act against his own people and ran away. Probably he did not take Gul-chihra with him. Her name next appears in the histories when she accompanies Gul-badan and Ḥamīda to India in 964H. (1557).

LXXIII. Gul-nār āghācha. (No. 57.)
The red, red rose; Pers. gul, rose, and nār (anār), pomegranate, carnation red.
She was of Bābar's ḥaram, and may have been one of the two Circassian (Cherkis) slaves (the other being Nār-gul) who were presented to the Emperor by Shāh ahmāsp in 933H. (1526).
She was at Hindāl's wedding-feast, and shared in the conferences of Humāyūn and his family; and she was one of Gul-badan Begam's pilgrim band (983H., 1575).
