A red sand-stone (size 14 by 10 inches) fixed over the south arch of the tomb, bears the following important inscription: الله الرحمن الرحيم لا اله الا الله محمد رسول الله بسم در عهد دولت سلطان السلاطين جلال الدین محمد اکبر پادشاه غازي . مقبول الرحمن جمال خالي بن منصور روضه توفیق یافت راست کنانید جمال خان را امید تراب که يابد من تاريخ ذی القعده(؟) سنه الف وماية "In the name, etc. There is no god, etc. “ In the time of the reign of the king of the kings, Jalal-addin Muhammad Akbar Pâdish â h-i-Ghazi, “ The friend of the Merciful, Jamal Khan, son of Mansar, found grace to build this tomb.
