The faceted bases of the left pylon is the most lost. However, one of the dedicatory texts began on the right pylon and ended on the left.
On the corner tower of the right pylon it is written:
"The Sultan is Allah's shadow [on the Earth]. [The true] reign is [of Allah]."
This is only part of the Hadith, its most famous variant goes as follows: السلطان ظل الله فی الارض «The Sultan is Allah's shadow on the earth». В) The word لله («...Allah's») did not fit into the western (right) tower.
Its last letter (soft 'h') did not fit into the left (eastern) tower; Some versions of the text can be often found in the monumental epigraphy of Central Asia (for instance, in Termez, Bukhara, Khiva, etc.).
You can learn more about the topic in the book-album "Architectural epigraphy of Uzbekistan. Qashqadaryo, Shahrisabz" of the series "Architectural epigraphy of Uzbekistan".
The main sponsor of the project is the oilfield services company Eriell-Group.
