Explanation:

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.

Chandrabhan Barahman has described the Mughal nobility in his book Char Chaman (Four Gardens), written during the reign of Shah Jahan.

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.

Jahangir Nama - This autobiography was written by Emperor Jahangir and provides insights into his reign. It was completed in the early 17th century.
