“Love is a fateful misfortune, but misfortune is by the will of Allah.
Why do you blame the fact that always - by the will of Allah?

They laid the foundation of a square plan of one and a half thousand Ghazi aside, and in the middle of each of them staged high entrances. The vaulted ceilings of the palace were decorated with stucco and mosaic decorations, and the surrounding walls were covered with kashin facings. In the four corners of the garden, tall pavilions were erected, decorated with tiles of wonderful colors.

When the garden began to correspond to his desire, he called it Bagi Dilkusha (“The Garden of Enchanting Hearts”).
