'KHAIR UL MANAAZIL' translates in Hijri year 969 by Arabic Abjad codes.

Translation:

During the reign of Jalaluddin Muhammad *** The one who became the greatest of the Mughal emperors.

When Maham Begam the most exalted among chaste noblewomen *** Ordered the making of this monument for public benefit.

And thus this event of goodness came to be recorded *** By Shihabuddin Ahmad Khan 'Baazil' (Baazil=Pen name meaning storyteller)

Felicitated be this monument and its makers *** And thus it came to be called the abode of goodness. Lutfullah (talk) 13:58, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
