بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم 4
همه ایام و اوقات و ساعات 5
بر اسفهسالار اجل محترم مکرم مقبل 6
اسد الدولة والدین مبارز الاسلام 7
و المسلمین میمون و خجسته و همایون باد 8
وایزد [تعالی] ناصر و معین 9
پیوسته دعا گوی در ذکر ایادیهای 10
آن مجلس می باشد و دعای دولت 11
آن خاندان انا للیل والنهار می گوید 12
مستجاب [با]د     بحق محمد و اله 13
استدعا کرده می شود یک تا برد 14
کی سرما آمد و دعا گوی ضعیف 15
است [و هیـ]ـچ سامان دیگر نداشت 16
و نیز روز آدینه را بر منبر شهر 17
با ژنده نیک نمی نماید 18
(حاشیه) بدین دلیری عفو فرماید 19

3             [Letter of] Servitude.
4 In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate.
5 May all the days, times and hours
6 of the illustrious, honourable, generous and fortunate sifahsālār,
7 Asad al-Dawla wal-Dīn, the warrior of Islam
8 and of the Muslims, be prosperous, blessed and auspicious.
9 [May] God almighty [be your] helper and defender.
10 [This] praying one is continuously acknowledging the favours
11 made by your office, and praying day and night for the rule
12 of your family.
13 May [these prayers] be answered, by [the intercession of] Muḥammad and his family.
14  A plea is being made for one garment,
15 for the chill has set in and this praying one is weak,
16 and possessed no other article [of clothing].
17 Also, it would be unseemly to appear on the city’s pulpit on a Friday
18 [dressed] in tatters.
19 Margin: May he forgive the bluntness [of this request].
