On the qibla side of the minaret, the year 1885 "Aqibat Khayrobod" i.e. "Aqibat Khayrabod 1885" is written in the nastaq letter. The same inscriptions were written four times in suls script on the porch of the Bibi Orifa complex in the Bahoutdin Architectural Complex. The phrase "May the end be good" has three meanings: to finish the work started with good, to say goodbye to the person and this world, and to take into account his deeds on the Day of Resurrection.
