Ratebeh Neyshabouri (872 – 917) was a poet, musician (Barbat), singer and organist of Tahirid dynasty.[1]
The author of Tabaqat-i Nasiri (Minhaj-i Siraj Juzjani) writes:
She was one of Mahmoud Waraq's maids, one of the nobles of Nishapur, who when Muhammad ibn Tahir bin Abdullah (the last king of Tahir) heard that she was singing Ghazal and playing the harp, he found her of his own accord. And he wanted her from Mahmoud at any cost; But because of his and Mahmoud's attachment, Muhammad gave the armor to Khwaja and this did not happen.[2]
