You I wish to command, your co-operation I invoke
In ‘inspecting’ the sickness of So-and-so.
Break neither plighted faith nor solemn promise,
But inspect the sickness of this grandson of Adam,
This follower of the Prophet Muhammad, of the race of the sons of men, So-and-

If anything should supervene,
Do you ‘stir’ within this pure heart (of mine).”
