Life
Natavan was born in Shusha, a town in present-day Azerbaijan, to Mehdigulu Khan (1763-1845), and Badir Jahan Begüm (1802-1861). She was the sole heir of the Karabakh khan and descended from Panah Ali Khan, and was regarded as the "daughter of the khan" by the general public (Azerbaijani: Xan qz." Khurshid Banu (Persian: "Lady Sun") means "Lady Sun" in Persian. Natavan () is also from Persian and means powerless. She was named after her grandmother, Khurshud Begüm, daughter of Javad Khan, and her uncle.
She inherited vast lands from her father, including 1,315 households, 41 nomadic territories, and 7 villages at the age of 14. Gawhar agha, a child who taught her music, poetry, and painting, was put in care of her aunt Gawhar agha. Khasay Utsmiev, a Kumyk noble, was possibly married in 1847. After her mother Badir Jahan Begüm's death in 1861, she inherited a further number of 9 villages. She founded and sponsored the first literary societies in Shusha and Azerbaijan as a whole. Majlis-i Uns ("Society of Friends"), one of them, established in 1864, became one of the more prominent and concentrated major poetic-intellectual powers of Karabakh at that time.
Natavan was deeply involved in philanthropy, assisting Karabakh's socioeconomic and cultural growth. A water main was first laid down in Shusha in 1872, solving the townsfolk's water problem. "Khurshud Banu-Begum left an indelible mark in the Shushavians' memory, and her fame would pass from generation to generation," the local Russian "Kavkaz" newspaper wrote at the time. The aqueduct was built by Natavan from the famous Shusha white stones and was also listed as "Natavan springs" by the townsfolks, who also listed historic monuments under protection.
Natavan also contributed to the propagation and popularization of the famous breed of Karabakh horses. The horses of Natavan competed in the Exposition Universelle (1869), agricultural exhibition in Moscow (1869), and were given gold medals and certificates of honour. At the Second All-Russian Exhibition in 1869, two Karabakh horses were also awarded: Meymun - silver medal, Tokmak - bronze medal. Khan received a silver medal at the Exposition Universelle (1867) in Paris.
The main themes of Natavan's ghazals and ruba'yat were humanity, kindness, compassion, and love. These sentimental romantic poems capture a woman who was not content in her family life and who lost her son. Today, many of these poems are included in folk songs.
