Translation 



In the name of God the Merciful, the Compassionate 

 There is no God but God, who is one, and verily there is no asso- 

 ciate of Him, and Muhammad is his servant and Messenger. 



There is no refuge and strength but in God, the high and exalt- 

 ed. And God made distinction between Unbelief and Islam 

 (by) prayer and fastings at times. In the auspicious time of 

 Abi'z-zafar Sultan Muhy'ud-Din Muhammad Aurangzib Bahadur 

 'Alamglr Padshah'ul Ghazi, in the year of Hijri One thousand 

 one hundred and eleven (this Mosque) was nearly completed 



(1111 H.« 1699-1700 A.D.).
