The Bābur-nāma in English (Memoirs of Bābur)

Note 2221 — SECTION III. HINDŪSTĀN (continued 3)

Annette Susannah Beveridge translation

‘imārat qīlmāq munāsib. This has been read to mean that the qīālar provide good sites (Mems. & Méms.), but position, distance from the protection of the fort, and the merit of local stone for building incline me to read the words quoted above as referring to the convenient lie of the stone for building purposes. (See preceding note.)

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
