Exterior

The shrine assumes the form of a fortified rectangle measuring 70 by 90 feet, and is capped by a low and sloped dome,^[9] with an exterior made of plain brick and inward sloping walls that may derive from Seljuk architecture from Central Asia.^[10] The use of wooden bands horizontally across the shrine, and use of both glazed and cut brick also represents the influence of Central Asian Seljuk architecture.^[10]

The shrine reflects elements of military architecture, with semicircular bastions in each of the shrine's corners, as well as in the middle of 3 of the 4 walls. The western wall of the shrine features a small projection, indicating the location of the mihrab.^[5] The roofline is decorated with crenellations - a feature commonly employed in fortified structures such as the Rohtas Fort. Similar influence of military architecture is found at the Tomb of Shah Rukn-e-Alam in Multan.^[11]

Interior

The shrine's interior is square shaped measuring 24 feet on each side,^[12] with entrance on each side that open to vaulted galleries, and rectangular shaped chambers on the east and west side of the shrine.^[13] The interior space is divided into a series of galleries The shrine's interior walls are decorated with cut-brick designs.^[13] The shrine is notable for its exceptional mihrab made of cut and molded brick, decorated with Kufic calligraphy,^[2] capped with a hood similar to a baldachin. Decorative cut-brick patterns on the ornate mihrab differ from patterns on the rest of the shrine.^[13]
