- Saying, “O Messenger of God, wilt thou for kindness' sake give thyself the trouble (to walk) to that mosque,
- کای رسول حق برای محسنی ** سوی آن مسجد قدم رنجه کنی
- To the end that it may be made blessed by thy approach— may thy days flourish until the Resurrection!
- تا مبارک گردد از اقدام تو ** تا قیامت تازه باد ایام تو
- It is a mosque for muddy and cloudy days, a mosque for days of sore distress in times of poverty,
- مسجد روز گل است و روز ابر ** مسجد روز ضرورت وقت فقر
- That a (poor) stranger may get charity and room (to shelter) there, and that this house of service may be frequented,
- تا غریبی یابد آن جا خیر و جا ** تا فراوان گردد این خدمتسرا
- So that the rites of the Religion may be multiplied and abound; because a bitter plight is sweetened (by being shared) with friends. 2835

- Show favour to the mosque and its founders. Thou art the moon, we are the night: comply with us for a moment,
- مسجد و اصحاب مسجد را نواز ** تو مهی ما شب دمی با ما بساز
- In order that by thy beauty night may be made like day, O thou whose beauty is a soul-illumining sun.”

- Alas! would that those words had been from the heart, so that the desire of those folk might have been accomplished!
- ای دریغا کان سخن از دل بدی ** تا مراد آن نفر حاصل شدی
