Inscription: verso: six lines of Persian poetry in nast 'aliq calligraphy Translation: Your separation has become my companion of old,/
My chagrin for you a soother of sorrows of old,/
My aching for you, my daily guest,/
Your branding mark my memento of old,/
O gentle breeze, beware of reminding the beloved/
Of me, humble-hearted and in the dust, of old.
