Inscription Text:
Basmala, al-Burda (1-12):
1) Do memories of neighbours of Dhu Salam cause in woe, the blending of the blood with tears that from your eyes thus flow?
2) Or does the wind that from Kazima blow your eyes now smite, or lighting's flashes from Idam in darkness of the night?
3) What ails your eyes, for yet they flow, though told by you to cease? What ails your heart, when told its senses to regain in peace, It then becomes distraught by love, a love with no release.
4) Oh does a lover ever believe that he his love conceals, when streaming eyes and heart aglow declare the love he feels?
5) But for the ardour of your love you'd not shed tears or weep on ruins of the dwelling place, nor ever have lost sleep at memories of the willow tree, or of the mount's tip steep.
7) So how can you deny your love, when proof has thus been borne, by the true witnesses of tears and love-sickness forlorn?
8) Love's passion draws two lines of languor and of tears which streak like yellow "bahar" and like red "anam" upon your cheek.
9) My loved one's spirit passed me by, so sleepless was my night, for pain, indeed, doth intercept love's pleasure and delight.
10) You who reproach me for a love worthy of Udhrite fame, oh my excuse accept, and if just, you would not me blame.
11) My plight to you is well known, for my secret is not concealed from slanderers, nor will my sickness soon be cured or healed.
12) You have me offered good advice, which I'll not hark or heed, a lover deaf is to whoever him reproves indeed.
The Burda poem was inscribed and this was on Thursday the 25th of month of Dhu'l-Qa'da of the year 1138/Thursday July 25th 1726.

بسملة، البردة (12-1): 1)امن تذكر جيران بذي سلم / مزجت دمعا جري من مقلة بدم، 2) ام هبت الريح من تلقاء كاظمة / و اومض البرق في الظلماء من اضم، 3) فما لعينيك ان قلت اكففاهمتا / و ما لقلبك ان قلت اسنفق يهم، 4) ايحسب الصب ان الحب منكتم / ما بين منسجم منه و مضطرم، 5) لولا الهوي لم ترق دمعا علي طلل / و لا ارقت لذكر البان و العلم، 7) فكيف تنكر حبا بعدما شهدت / به عليك عدول الدمع و السقم، 8) و اثبت الوجد خطي عبرة و ضني / مثل البهار علي خديك و العنم، 9) نعم سري طيف من اهوي فارقني / و الحب يعترض اللذات بالالم، 10) يا لائمي في الهوي العذري معذرة / مني اليك و لو انصفت لم تلم، 11) عدتك حالي لا سري بمستتر / عن الوشاة و لا دائي بمنحسم، 12) محضتني النصح لكن لست اسمعه / ان المحب عن العذال في صمم، تمت قصيدة البردة علي خير و تم ذلك يوم الخميس 25 في شهر القعدة سنة 1138
