This mosque is known variously as the Darbiya Mosque or Khalis Mikhlis Mosque or Chahar Ungli mosque. It was built by two Chief nobles of Sultan Ibrahim Sharqi, Malik Mukhlis and Malik Khalis, in 1430 in honour of a celebrated saint, Sayyid Usman Shirazi. A stone three inches in length in the south pier on the left side of the main entrance. It was reputed to have the virtue of measuring exactly four unglis (fingers). i.e., about four inches in length, irrespective of the hand measuring.
The mosque was built originally for the convenience of the celebrated sain, Sayyid Usman, who was born at Shiraz, later on came to delhi, and from there moved on to Jaunpur because of the invasion of Timur. His descendants still reside near the mosque.

This mosque is a plain, serviceable structure and sonsists of the usual great propylon, domed hall, two wings and a large square enclosure some 66 feet in depth, with a flat roof supported on ten rows of pillars somewhat in the Hindu style. The whole structure of the building is simple. Its gates along with the walls were also pulled down by the orders of Sikandar Lodi. It remained for years in a dilapidated condition, but it has now been repaired and is in use.
