Masab Tank is an anglicized version of Maa-Sahiba Tank. Maa-Sahiba was a title endowed on Hayat Bakshi Begum, wife of Qutub Shahi VI. The ‘Talab’ or tank was built by Khanum Agha, Qutub Shah V's mother, but it became famous after his wife as ‘Talab-e-Maa-Sahiba’. The upgraded ‘Maa Sahiba Talab’ got anglicized to Masab Tank. The modern Masab Tank is a major locality in Hyderabad, India. The area lies at the junction of Road#1, Banjara Hills and the road connecting Humayun Nagar and Lakdi Ka Pul.
