The Prophet says, He who builds, &c., (as before). This Jami’ Mosque was 
built in the reign of the exalted king, who is the son of a king, Naqiruddunya 
waddin Abul Muzaffar Nuijrat Shah, the king, son of Husain Shah, 
the king—may God perpetuate his kingdom and rule ! Its builder is Khan Miyan 
Mua’zzam, son of Murad Haidar Khan—may his honor continue ! In the year 930, 
A. H. (A. D. 1524.) 
The following important inscription I owe to the kindness of J. R. 
Reid, Esq., C. S., A’zamgarh, N. W. Provinces, who sent me a rubbing. 
The slab was found on the right bank of the G’hagra, near Sikandarpur. 
No. 33. The JSFugrat Shah Inscription of Sikandarpur , AJzamgarh.
