The Shah having glory like heavens,
In his State his word has a sharpness and power.
When his steps reached the throne of the State,
from his blessed steps Khorezm turned into a paradise.
This building is the abode of the goodness,
Erected by his generosity for the scholars with high knowledge.
On the four portals of the courtyard of the madrasah two chronograms are written in verses composed by Mohammed Riza Aghehi and Kamil Khorezmi, poets of Khiva. They glorified the Khan thanks to and by the grace of whom the country became well maintained, his justice of spread throughout the world, that scientists obtained degrees and achieved their goals, the Khan himself, rendering care for scientists and enlightened (people), was awarded the title of the patron of knowledge and science.
