" In the name of the merciful and compassionate God! [Qorán, Sdra lxxii, 18, 19] the mosques are God's. You should not call on any one with God, and when God's servant stood up to pray they (the jinns) called out to him and well-nigh crowded upon him.' The prophet-upon whom be peace !-says, 'He who builds a mosque for God desiring thereby God's honour, will have one like it built for him by God in Paradise.
“This mosque was finished in the days of the reign of the great king of kings, the exalted prince, the master of the necks of crowds of nations among the Indians, Turks, Arabs, and Persians, the accomplished Sultan, the perfect, the chief, the ruler, the just prince, the high, the exalted, whom to obey is as necessary as to obey God and the Prophet, according to (Qorán, Sara iv, 62) Obey God, and obey the Apostle and those in authority amongst you,' the guardian of God's countries, the helper of God's servants, who raises the standard of holy strife and war, Muhammad Humayun, Bádisháh-f. Ghaei-may God Almighty perpetuate bis kingdom and guide his ship in the seas of His favour !-through the exertion of the auspicious dignitary, the cream of the accom. plished among men, the issue of great Amirs, Amir Muhammad, son of the distinguished noble, the meritorious Nizamaddin Beg Mirak, son of the pardoned and purified Khushgeldi..... , son of his highness, whose sins are forgiven...
(Metre: Ramal). "A mosque has been built in Hişår for the sake of God, which is as high in dignity as the seventh heaven.
"Because it is high in dignity, and has the aspect of the seventh heaven, and has turned out well-adjusted, every one who saw it has approved of the style of this mosque. Because all people of sense approved of it, its chronogramm is .........
"Its writer and composer is Nizâm......... A. 942" [began 2nd July 1535].
The father of the builder was already, in Båbar's time, an officer of Prirce Humayan (Babar's Memoirs, p. 402), who afterwards employed him during his own reign in several situations. In 942, the year of the above inscription, he appointed him commander of the fort of Chanâs, then just conquered (Akbarnáma, I, 151). In the report of the victory gained over Rana Sanka (Båbar's Memoirs, pp. 410 ff.) ten grandees bear the title Nizamaddin, but that was probably not their proper title, and is only a declamatory addition of the learned composer of the letter.
I do not think that these words are correct.
