The publisher seems to speak to the Indian customers with this translation perpendicular to the image, and perhaps educate European ones:

[Recto]"Translation in English from the Arabic written on her tomb"
"He is alone everliving and everlasting".

‘Let nothing but green grass cover my tomb. For it is the best grave cloth of then poor in spirit.

The humble and mortal Jahanara Begum
(Believer of Chishty Family.)’

(18306) Daughter of Emperor Shahjahan Badsha Ghazi 1674 A.D. [end]
