الله خیر معین 1
عرضه می دارد بر رای انور عالی خداوند ولینعم 2
امیر سفهسالار اجل کبیر ا[سد] الدوله و 3
[الدین الـ]ـغ خاص جاندار بک کمتر 4
[مو]سی محمد کولی کی برین عورت ضـ[ـعیـ]ـف 5
[کی] دختر خضر پلنگ است چه ظلم ستم می رود 6
[خـ]ـداوند این عورت را بی ملک می کند 7
[+ 1] یوسف بدین پنج خروار تخم و این 8
قطعه زمین چندین سال خوش بوده است 9
[ایـ]ـن عورت از جهت آن آمده است تا چی 10
[+ 1] ستاند و تمام حق او بدو رسد چون خداوند 11
[+ 1] فرمود کی بر قرار گذشته بباید رفت این یک 12
[قطـ]ـعه زمین نیمه فرمودن برین عورت ضعیفه 13
[از] حد بیرون ظلم است توقع بکرم خداوندی و بنده 14
[نو]ازی اینست کی روا ندارد و انصاف این ضعیفه 15
[سـ]ـتاند تا بثواب مخصوص گردد کی بعد ازین هران 16
[+ 1] چنان کی خواهد بود همبرین حکم خواهد فرموده 17
[آیـ]ـد این عورت از دست بمی شود خداوند روا ندارد 18

Folio:
1 God is the best helper.
2 The lowly Mūsā(?) b. Muḥammad Kūlī petitions for enlightened and superior
judgement by the beneficent lord,
3 the illustrious and grand amīr and sifāhsālār, Asad(?) al-Dawla
4 [wal-Dīn Ulu]gh khāṣṣ jāndār bek,
5 on: the injustice that is being committed against this poor woman,
6 the daughter of Khiḍṛ b. Palang.
7 The master is dispossessing this woman of her land
8 [in favour of?] Yūsuf because of(?) these 5 donkey-loads of seed. This
9 plot of land has been productive for several years now.
10 This woman has come [here] for this reason so that she
11 retains what [is her due?] and that all her rights are fully restored. By
12 [+1] ordering that the previous practice be followed and this
13 plot of land be divided in two, the master is subjecting this poor woman
14 to excessive injustice. The expectation from the master [who is meant to be]
benevolent and
15 kind to [his] servants, is that he does not unjustly
16 deprive this poor [woman] of her justice. [In this way,] he will be worthy of
recompense [in the next world] since after doing so, every
17 [case?] like this, will be dealt with in accordance with this order.
18 It would not be appropriate for the master to deprive this woman.
