The inscriptions contain verses from Sa’di’s Gulistan, followed by a date:
har chih ravad bar saram chun tu pasandi rava[st]
bandah chih da‘va kunad hukm-i khuda [rast]
“Whatever happens to me is correct since you [ie. God] have approved it,
How can the slave dispute it? God’s command is right.”
mihtari dar qabul-i farman ast
tark-i farman dalil-i haraman ast
“Greatness is in accepting commands,
Ignoring them is the sign of the excluded.”
har kih sima-yi rastan darad
sar-i khidmat bar astan darad 1084
“Whoever bears the sign of the righteous,
Places the head of service upon the threshold. 1084 (1673-4).”
On the inside of the bowl, the inscriptions around the centre includes a further couplet from the Gulistan of Sa‘di:
ta dil-i dustan bi-dast ari
bustan-i pidar furukhtah bih
“In order to gain the hearts of friends,
Sell even the garden of your father.”
In the centre is an owner’s inscription:
sahihubu khw[a]jah (?) wali bin (?) haji …
“Its owner, Khwajah (?) Wali bin Haji … ”
