मुगल बिजिरसालिनि सासे गुबुन हादरनि दावबायारि एडवर्ड टेरीनि सोदोबफोराव, "गावनि बिमा महामान्या मरियम-उज़-ज़मानीनि थाखाय जाहांगिरनि अन्नाया सोमोनांथावमोन, आरो गले-गले मावनांगौनि गोबां महरफोरखौ दिन्थियोमोन आरो बिनि फारसे गावनि गोख्रों अन्नायखौ फोरमायोमोन।"
In the words of Edward Terry, a foreign traveller to the Mughal court, "Jahangir's affection for his mother Her Majesty Mariam-uz-Zamani was exceptional, and not seldom would he show many expressions of duty and display his strong affections for her".
