 God is the King ! 



By the grace of the great God, the slave of the throne of the Almighty, Aba Bakr 

 Bamjawani, who is one of the disciples of the helping spiritual guide, the king of 

 Shaikhs, Shaikh Abul-Fath (may God sanctify his dear secret !), had this mosque erect- 

 ed near the pole of the poles of the world. Shaikh Jamal-uddin (may the earth of his 

 grave be perfumed, may God make paradise his mansion, and may God illuminate his 

 resting-place !), at the time when the worshipful king of Shaikhs, Shaikh Farid (may 

 God lengthen his life !) succeeded as the spiritual ruler. He who reads a prayer in this 

 mosque, should remember (the builder) with a pious wish. 



The writer of these lines is Raza Kutb, the representative of the Qazf of H^nsi in 

 Mahallah * * * * police inspector ****** on the 15th Rajab (may the honor 

 of the month increase !) of the year 896. The engraver is Amin, son of * * * Gori. 

 [24th May, 1491.] 



On the toj), to the left of the words ' God is]the King', in small charac- 

 ters — 



In the time of the king of the age, Sikandar Shah, son of Buhlul Shah, 

 the king, may God perpetuate his kingdom and rule ! 



I do not know what ' Bamjawani' is. If the a in the second syllable 

 were not long, I would read ' Aba Bakr nam jawane,' a young man named 

 Aba Bakr.
