In the name of God, the merciful, the clement. Surely, he will build the mosques 

 of God who believes in God and the last day [Qoran]. And the Prophet (blessings upon 



him) says, ' He who builds a mosque for God, will receive from God every gift [In 



the reign of] the Icing of the kings of the world, the just and great ruler, the lord of 

 the necks of nations, the master of the kings of Arabia and Persia, who professes the 

 exalted creed and seizes the firm handle, who watches over God's faith, protects God's 

 lands, and defends God's servants, who gives the Faithful peace and security, the heir of 

 the kingdom of Solomon, ....Abul Mnzaffar Firuz Shah, the king — may God 

 perpetuate his kingdom and his rule ! and in the time of the Malik of the Maliks of the 

 East and of China, the king of kings, the helper of the warring monoth'eists, the excel- 

 lent Imam, the hope of the age, the general of the present time, .... the great U 1 u g h 

 Ibrahim Naib Barbak, the king, — may God continue to him his high position ! — 

 (this blinding) received the distinction of being erected, and this Prince, whose walk 

 of life is good and whose faith is pure, exerted himself to the utmost to finish this reli- 

 gious edifice. In the exalted month of Zil Qa'dah and in the year 778 of the Plight 

 of the Prophet, upon whom rest God's blessings [April, 1376]. 



Shams i 'Afif has a long chapter on Ibrahim Naib Barbak, in which he 

 says that he was so attached to his brother Firuz Shah and the latter to him, 

 that both slept in the same room, waited for each other when commencing 

 to chew betel, and that he died before Firuz Shah. Then follow similar 

 puerilities in schoolboy style, adorned with two quotations from Sa'di. The 

 chapter has been deservedly left out by Prof. Dovvson (Elliot's Historians, 

 III, p. 372.)
