78.6.6

“Shaikh-ul-Islam, the leader of mankind, (May God exalt his sublime power!) When he came from Madinah to Hind, That renowned Depository of Spiritual-direction, From his auspicious advent Hind Found anew a happy fortune. Take a certain letter and subtract it From Shaikh-ul-Islam, to find the date.” and another like unto it:— “Shaikh-ul-Islam, the perfect saint, That breath of Messias, that footstep of Elias, A flash from whose forehead was a glimpse of Eternity, A beam from whose face was the light of Eternity, When from Madinah he turned to Hind, That breath of Messias, that footstep of Elias, Reckon a letter and reckon not a letter From Khair-ul-maqdam, to find the date”. This monastry, having taken 7 years to complete, vaunted itself over the seven heavens. And about this time the Mahall-i-Bengali in Agrah, and another lofty palace, were completed; and Qasim Arsalan made this mnemosynon;— "When, for his pleasure, the King of fair countenance Ordered the building of the two palaces of auspicious mark, The date of the one came out from 'Ishrat, Khanah-e Padshahi was the date of the other."
