Q: Baburnama written by  

Answer: B

Baburnama ( literally: "Book of Babur" or "Letters of Babur"; alternatively known as Tuzk-e Babri) is the name given to the memoirs of Zahir-ud-Din Muhammad Babur (1483-1530), founder of the Mughal Empire and a great-great-great-grandson of Timur.

It is an autobiographical work, written in the Chagatai language, known to Babur as "Turki" (meaning Turkic), the spoken language of the Andijan-Timurids. According to historian Stephen Frederic Dale, Babur's prose is highly Persianized in its sentence structure, morphology, and vocabulary, and also contains many phrases and smaller poems in Persian. During Emperor Akbar's reign, the work was completely translated to Persian by a Mughal courtier, Abdul Rahim, in AH 998 (1589-90).

The Baburnama begins with these plain words: In the month of Ramadan of the year 899 and in the twelfth year of my age, I became ruler in the country of Farghana.
