Jahan Malek Khatun

[1] After her father's marriage she too was married to Amin al-Din Jahrumi between 1343 and 1347,[2] who was a companion of the Injuid ruler, and nephew of Shaikh Jamāl al-Dīn Abu Ishāq.

[3] Jahan Malek was brought up and guarded by her uncle Abu Ishāq, who finally fell from power in 1353 when Mubariz al-Din Muhammad captured Shiraz and executed Ishaq in 1357.

[1] The introduction to her divan, written by Jahan herself, suggests that she wrote poetry as a means to leave something behind after her death, and to deal with her tumultuous life at court.

The concept of Jahan, "the World", was used by contemporary poets to refer to an imaginary female figure who was ruthless and seductive, conspiring to murder her many lovers.

[8] Jahān made her entrance into the Western world when Dick Davis translated a sizable portion of her poetry into English in 2012 and again in 2019,[9] where it garnered praise.
