الله [+ 1] 1
خدای تعالی برکات و خیرات را در امام همام اجل عالم عامل 2
اوحد الدین شرف ا[لحـ]ـاج و الحرم [+ 2] 3
پاینده دارد بوجهه الکریم و حقه و رحمته و فضله علی جمیع خلقه 4
داعی عاصی محمد بن محمد بن ابی بکر تاب الله علیه و اصلحه دعا می گوید 5
و بدعاء ایمان مدد می خواهد فرزند اعز (؟) شریف الدین را 6
و دیگر اعزه (؟) را بدعا یاد بیشتر می آید مستجاب باد همه وقت 7
جملۀ دوستان و عزیزان را دعا گفته می شود و اعزه (؟) را 8
و اگر لطفی باشد بدعاء ایمان در مجالس علم و محافل ذکر 9
یاد می فرماید         والله تعالی قریب مجیب لمن دعا فیه 10

Folio:
1 God [+ 1]
2 May God Almighty bestow [His] blessings and good things upon the magnificent and illustrious imām, the able ʿālim,
3 Awḥad al-Dīn, the pride of pilgrims and the Shrine [of Mecca] [+ 2], 
4 for eternity, and to all creatures through His kindness, His justice, His mercy, and His grace.
5 This sinful supplicant, Muḥammad b. Muḥammad b. Abī Bakr, may God accept his repentance and mend his ways, supplicates
6 and asks for support during faith[-affirming] prayers. I mention the dearest child, Sharaf al-Dīn,
7 and the other great ones, in my prayers always. May they be accepted.
8 I constantly pray for all [my] friends and dear ones, and all great ones.
9 If he could be so kind, please mention [me] in faith[-affirming] prayers during learned gatherings and dhikr assemblies.
10                 God Almighty is near. He responds to the one who prays to him.
