Hakim's Tomb (ur|{{nq|حکیموں کا مقبرہ; "Hakeemon ka Maqbara") is a 16th-century tomb located in the city of Hasan Abdal, Pakistan, across from the Gurdwara Panja Sahib. The tomb complex also includes the Tomb of Lala Rukh, traditionally attributed to a Mughal princess. The tomb was built for two physicians (Hakims) at the Mughal court, the brothers Hakim Abdul Fateh Gilani Masiuddin, and Hakim Humayun Khwaja Gilani.[1]
The tomb was ordered to be built by the Mughal emperor Akbar's minister and superintendent of construction, Khawaja Shamsuddin Khawafi.[2] Khwaja had intended the tomb to be built for himself between 1581 and 1583,[3] [4] but the two royal Hakimss were buried there at the command of Emperor Akbar in 1597. Akbar visited the site after returning from one of his trips to Kashmir.[5]
The tomb is octagonal and is a two-story structure. A large Persian style iwan gateway arch is found on each of the cardinal sides of the tomb, and span the height of both stories. Flanking the large iwans are 4 smaller niches - also built in the Persian style. The tomb is fronted by a small fish pond.
