Diwan-i-Khas In Persian, Diwan:دیوان means "The Official Hall", Khas:خاص means "Special guests" and Aam:عام means "the common people". So this was a building for the official affairs and requests of the novelty and royal family. A gate on the north side of the Diwan-i-Aam leads to the innermost court of the palace (Jalau Khana) and the Diwan-i-Khas (Hall of Private Audience).[66] It is constructed of white marble, inlaid with precious stones. The once-silver ceiling has been restored in wood. François Bernier described seeing the jewelled Peacock Throne here during the 17th century. At either end of the hall, over the two outer arches, is an inscription by Persian poet Amir Khusrow: If heaven can be on the face of the earth, It is this, it is this, it is this. — "World Heritage Site – Red Fort, Delhi; Diwan-i-Khas".
