She was born in 1841 in Merdinli quarter of Shusha. Her father Mirza Beybaba Fana (1787-1867, also known as Aghamirze bey) was also a poet. She was educated in Shusha. She was called "Mirza Fatma Khanum" by the people because of her education. Most of her poems are written in classical form. Mir Mohsun Navvab stated in "Tazkireyi-Navvab" that Fatma khanum had 400 poems; though it doesn't appear that they survived. Fatma took an active part in the "Mejlisi-Faramushan" gatherings of Shusha intellectuals led by Mir Mohsun Navvab and in the "Mejlisi-uns" literary circle. She died in 1898 in Shusha. Writing about her death, Firidun bey Kocharli called her "one of the rare people of the time".

She was from Tahirovs, one of the noble families of Shusha. She was a relative of Tahira Tahirova (Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic) and Mirza Hasan Tahirzadeh (fourth Sheikh ul-Islam of the Caucasus).
