1. أيُّها الفاضِلُ الذي قد حَباهُ

    ذهنُه من علومِه بكنُوزِ

    O learned man, who has been endowed

    by his mind with treasures from his knowledge.

  2. فُقتَ أهل الآدابِ جَدّاً وهزلا

    فَتميَّز عنهم بذا التمييز

    You have surpassed the men of letters in earnest and in jest;

    so distinguish yourself from them by this distinction.

  3. كم وكم من رسالة لك قد برّ

    زتَ فيها سبقاً على التبريزي

    How many, how many of your epistles have you

    excelled in, outstripping al-Tabrizi!

  4. أنا واللَه من رعاياك مازِل

    تُ وأنت الأَميرُ في النوروزِ

    I, by God, still remain among your subjects,

    while you are the prince at Nowruz.
