Inscription: Calligraphy, Persian verses in nasta‘liq script:
He is Venerable!/
I am the dust on the path of the messenger to my beloved’s hallowed sanctuary;/
Perchance I may reach the destination in his footsteps./
On the burn in my branded heart, do not place any soothing balm,/
So that the comfort that I draw from my pain and sorrow for my beloved does not abate.
