يا سيداً مهجة المملوك في يدهِ

أدامك الله محفوظاً وأبقاكا

Oh master whose slave's love is in his hand

May God preserve you and keep you

هذا كتابٌ أتى يرجو بكم شرفاً

فقل له برضىً إنا قبلناكا

This is a letter that has come seeking honor through you

So tell it with pleasure, we have accepted you
