D. 1628 [_sic., leg._ 1627]-58) the
whole building was put into thorough repair. . . . The tomb is in the
village of Ghyaspur, and is reached after passing through the
'Chaunsath Khambha'. (Harcourt, _The New Guide to Delhi_ (1866), p.
107.)
In the original edition a small coloured illustration of this tomb,
from a miniature, is given on Plate 24. Carr Stephen (pp. 102-7)
gives a good and full account of Nizam-ud-din and his tomb.
9. According to Harcourt (p. 108), the tomb of Khusru was erected
about A.D. 1350, but this is a misprint for 1530. The poet, whose
proper name was Abul Hasan, is often called Amir Khusru, and was of
Turkish origin. He was born A.D. 1253, and died in September, 1325.
His works are numerous. (Beale.) The grave, and wooden railing round
it, were built in A.H. 937 (A.D. 1530-1). . . . The present tomb was
built in A.H. 1014 (A.D. 1605-6) by Imad-ud-din Hasan, in the reign
of Jahangir, and this date occurs in an inscription under the dome
and over the red sandstone screens. (Carr Stephen, p. 115.) In the
original edition a small coloured illustration of this tomb, from a
miniature, is given on Plate 24.
