The Teenage Diary Of Nur Jahan (Mehr-un-nissa)

"Yesterday, by the grace of Allah, I, Mehr-un-nissa, daughter of Mirza Ghiyas Beg and Asmat Begum, completed thirteen years of existence on this earth... Thirteen years... I'm not sure how pleased I am to have reached this significant age!"

Long before she became Nur Jahan - Emperor Jahangir's last wife and the most influential Mughal queen - she was Mehr-un-nissa. Born to Persian refugees who attained eminence at the Mughal court, Mehr-un-nissa grew up on the fringes of Emperor Akbar's court in Agra, Kabul and Lahore.
