Multi-lingual poetic touch to Jubilee Hall
Multi-lingual poetic touch to Jubilee Hall. The history of Jubilee Hall, now housing Telangana Legislative Council, will soon come alive with the poetry of 7th Nizam Mir Osman Ali Khan and his tutor Fasahath Jung Jaleel.
‘Shaahi khazaana’
The history of Jubilee Hall, now housing Telangana Legislative Council, will soon come alive with the poetry of 7th Nizam Mir Osman Ali Khan and his tutor Fasahath Jung Jaleel. If things go according to plan, the marble engraved plaques, exalting the construction and beauty of this bulb shaped building with Persian poetry on each side of main entrance, will welcome Council members by the end of the monsoon session in Urdu, Telugu and English languages.

The Chairman of Telangana Legislative Council, K Swamy Goud assigned an artist from city to handle the translations so that people could learn about the building’s rich history. His intentions were noble as the visitor would be unaware of the past given that everything was in Persian. Telugu translation of both poems has been done by Dr Qutub Sarshar of Mahabubnagar while the Urdu and English translations have been rendered by Syed Azam Ali Sufi Quadri.
“What a wonderful palace, shadowing over the sky. With the grace of bountiful, cherisher, it is built with various decorations. Oh Jaleel ! Got all of a sudden, worth denoting the year of building. Look at the silver Jubilee Palace, as if heaven is placed in the Deccan,” reads the translation on one plaque, which was penned by the royal tutor, Fasahath Jung Jaleel.
The other plaque, penned by the 7th Nizam, Mir Osman Ali Khan reads, “That lofty building, which is so attractive as a picture. Every person young or old is fascinated by its decoration. Oh Osman! Excellent year of its construction came out of the pen. May Allah keep it up, what a beautiful palace of silver Jubilee palace.”
According to artist Sheikh Mohammed Abdul Lateef, the building was constructed to commemorate the silver jubilee of the 7th Nizam of Asaf Jahi Dynasty rule in 1935. “While the Khilwath palace served as Rajya Sabha, this building served as Lok Sabha, where people from all walks of life would visit Nizam,” he said.
Besides this, the artist is busy with providing details to the five royal portraits placed inside the ‘Darbar Hall’. “The details of their names and reign would be highlighted with engravings on a stainless steel plate,” added the artist.
