Bābar's accomplished son and successor, Humāyūn, the rival and opponent of Shēr Shah, found time in the midst of his unceasing wars to do some building. But most of his works have been destroyed, and, as in his father's case, only two are known to have survived, namely, a ruinous mosque near Agra, and one much better preserved at Fathābād in the Hissār District, Panjāb, which is decorated in the Persian manner with enamelled tiles.⁵ The buildings of Bābar and Humāyūn are purely foreign and Muhammadan.
