Explanation:

Akbar Nama - Written by Abu'l-Fazl ibn Mubarak, it is a biography of Emperor Akbar and was completed in the late 16th century.

An interesting book giving us a glimpse into the domestic world of the Mughals is the Humayun Nama written by Gulbadan Begum. Gulbadan was the daughter of Babur, Humayun’s sister and Akbar’s aunt. Gulbadan could write fluently in Turkish and Persian. It was in c. 1587 that Gulbadan Begum began to write the Humayun Nama.

Alamgir Nama - This is a biography of Emperor Aurangzeb written by Mirza Muhammad Khazim, and it was completed in the late 17th century (1668).

Badshah Nama - There are multiple texts with this name, but the most famous one is written by Abdul Hamid Lahori and covers the reign of Shah Jahan. It was completed in the mid-17th century.
