Mihr Nigar Khanum was the first wife of Sultan Ahmed Mirza, the King of Samarkand and Bukhara. She was a princess of Moghulistan by birth and was the eldest daughter of Yunus Khan, the Great Khan of Moghulistan and his chief consort Aisan Daulat Begum. She was also the aunt of Emperor Babur, the founder of the Mughal Empire of India as well as its first Emperor.
In July 1500, after her husband's death, she was captured by Muhammad Shaybani, the Khan of the Uzbeks; and was forcibly married to him as part of the spoils.
Mihr Nigar Khanum was born a princess of Moghulistan and was the eldest daughter of Yunus Khan, the Great Khan of Moghulistan and his chief consort Aisan Daulat Begum. Her paternal grandfather was Uwais Khan, the Moghul Khan of Mughalistan and her father's predecessor. Mihr Nigar Khanum was, thus, a direct descendant of Genghis Khan, the founder and Great Khan (Emperor) of the Mongol Empire.
She had two other siblings Qutlugh Nigar Khanum and Khub Nigar Khanum. Qutlugh later became her sister-in-law by marrying Umar Sheikh Mirza, the younger brother of her future husband, Sultan Ahmed Mirza.
