"In the name," etc. (Qorán, Sûra lxxii, 18, 19). "The prophet,-upon whom be peace, says, 'He who builds, etc.' This mosque was finished in the days of the reign of the great king, the exalted prince, the master of the necks of crowds of nations among the Indians, Turks, Arabs, and Persians, who raises the standard of holy strife and war, Muhammad Humâyûn, Bádisháh-i-Ghází,-May God Almighty perpetuate his kingdom [and guide] his ship in the seas of His favour!-through the exertion of the auspicious dignitary, the cream of the accomplished among men, the issue of great Amirs, Amir Rustam Beg, son of his highness the pardoned and purified chosen Amir on the Muhammad 'Ali,-God Almighty. . 2nd of the month Ramazan A. 945 (the 22nd January, 1539). The superintendent of the work (was) the poor 'Abdul-Karim."
The verse at the end of the inscription cannot be fully deciphered. The whole has a striking resemblance to the inscription of Amir Muhammad's mosque at Hişâr (ante, p. 155).
