The Shab Bhar Mosque, the overnight mosque, takes its name from the story that it was built in a single night in 1917. Iqbal wrote a well-known couplet about a mosque built in a night, and the verse is associated with this building. The mosque stands near Shah Alami in the old city, on a busy corner surrounded by shops. It has since been rebuilt on a larger scale as a white two-storey mosque and is in daily use for prayer.
