Babar, the founder of the Mughal Empire, also wrote his autobiography. In which he had written many shocking things. In Baburnama, the Mughal emperor had also mentioned about his love affair with a boy. Let us know. What is this whole story.
This is how the first marriage happened
Babar wrote his autobiography in Turkish language, whose name was Tuzk-e-Babri and which is also called Baburnam. Babar has mentioned about his first marriage in Tuzk-e-Babri i.e. Baburnama. Babar writes about his first marriage, ‘Ayesha Sultan Begum, daughter of my uncle Sultan Ahmed Mirza, to whom my father and uncle were engaged during their lifetime. However, when I got married, I was very much in love with her, but out of shyness, I used to go to her on the tenth, fifteenth, twentieth day and ultimately that love itself was no more and the hijab (distance) increased further. After one and a half to two months, my mother Khanim threatened me a lot and sent me to her.’
A story of love with Babri
Further in Baburnama, Babar has narrated the story of his love with a boy named Babri. Babar has written, ‘There was a boy in the Urdu market. Babri name. In which there was also a relation of homonym (same name). During those days, I developed a strange crush on her. I had never fallen in love with anyone before that. Didn’t even talk about kindness and love to anyone. In fact, I had not even heard the name of Dillagi.’
Babar has boldly presented the story of his love for Babri to the world in Baburnama. Babar has further written, ‘But the situation was such that if Babri ever came with me, out of shame I could not even look at him. I wish I could meet him and talk. Such was the condition of Iztirab-e-Dil (unsatisfaction) that even he could not thank her for his arrival. Who could complain of not coming and who had the courage to forcefully call.’
I lost consciousness after seeing Babri
Babar wrote in Baburnama Referring to the sudden meeting with Babri, it is written, ‘One day during this time of love, I used to go to a street with my beloved. Suddenly (suddenly) I came face to face with Babri. I was in a strange situation. I was close to losing my temper. It was not possible to raise my eyes to look or talk; I moved ahead, sniffling and wheezing a lot. This story of Babar has been taken from the Urdu translation of Tuzk-e-Babri. Which was printed by Mohammedan Printing Works, Delhi in 1924.
