Signed ‘amal-i mahmud shabih-kash, ‘The work of Mahmud the portraitist’
The poetry reads, ay qadd-i tu sarv-i chaman-i dilju’i / sar ta qadamat latafat u niku’i / az rishta-i jan dukhta ustad-i azal / bar qadd-i tu jama-i niku’i gu’i, ‘O your stature is the cypress of the meadow of satisfaction, From head to toe you are dressed in gracefulness and goodness. Stitched from the thread of life by the Master of Pre-eternity. The robe of goodness, one would say, you wear upon your stature'
