 Architecture 
The architecture has a combination of styles however it reflects mainly the Islamic Mughal style.  Six couplets of a ghazal are carved from Iqbal's poetical work Zabur-e-Ajam (Persian Psalms) on the mausoleum's interior surfaces.Annemarie Schimmel, Islam in the Indian Subcontinent (Handbuch Der Orientalistik), Brill. 1980.  Outside, there is a small garden, distributed into small plots. The mausoleum was designed by Hyderabad Deccan's then Chief Architect, Nawab Zain Yar Jang Bahadur and took thirteen years to build at a cost of about one hundred thousand (Rs. 100,000) Pakistani rupees. The major reason for delay was the stoppage of red-stone from Jaipur in post-Independent India.Iqbal’s final resting place , Amna Nasir Jamal, 20 April 2002, Dawn
