1. أُحْدِثَ بَابُ المَسجِدِ الجَامِعِ

    بِأمْرِ مَولاَنَا الرّضَا القَامِعِ

    The gate of the congregational mosque was newly built

    By order of our esteemed lord, the subduer,

  2. عَلِي بَاشَا بْنُ الحُسَينِ الذي

    أحْسَنَ لِلمُعْتَرِّ وَالقَانِعِ

    Ali Pasha, son of al-Husayn, who

    Showed kindness to the seeker of aid and the contented poor.

  3. وَكَمْ لَهُ مِنْ خَصْلَةٍ أوجَبَتْ

    ثَنَاءَهُ لِلرَّائِي وَالسَّامِعِ

    And how many a virtue of his has made

    His praise incumbent on the beholder and the hearer!

  4. جَازَاهُ ذُو الطَّولِ عَلَى فِعْلِهِ

    مِنْ مَطْلَبِ المَتْبُوعِ وَالتَّابِعِ

    May the Lord of Bounty reward him for his deed

    With what the leader and the follower seek;

  5. وَدَامَ فِي خَيْرٍ ولَمَّا اسْتَوَى

    أرَّخْتُهُ بَابُ رِضىً وَاسِعِ

    And may he remain in well-being; and when it was completed,

    I dated it: "A gate of ample favor."
