Nasir-ud-Din Muhammad (Persian: ناصرالدین محمد) (6 March 1508 – 27 January 1556), better known by his regnal name, Humāyūn; (Persian: همایون ), was the second emperor of the Mughal Empire, who ruled over territory in what is now Eastern Afghanistan, Pakistan, Northern India, and Bangladesh from 1530 to 1540 and again from 1555 to 1556. Like his father, Babur, he lost his empire early but regained it with the aid of the Safavid dynasty of Persia, with additional territory. At the time of his death in 1556, the Mughal Empire spanned almost one million square kilometres.
