Petition (‘arizah) to Imam Husayn
Oh lord, oh master, Oh Husayn son of ‘Alī, may God’s peace and greetings be upon you all. Peace be upon you, the oppressed martyr, the unique stranger who is bereft and infallible. May God’s greetings be upon you and upon your illuminated soul, upon your purified grandfather. He [I] desires the dust [under] your shoes and praises? your footsteps. May he accept the honor to serve you and be acknowledged at your threshold (‘atabba), and perform pilgrimage to your grave with his head and eye, your servant, the wretched one, residing in Ardabil, so-and-so. [So far,] this resolve has not come to fruition due to hindrances, obstacles, occupations, and entanglements, as well as poverty (faqr) and destitution (fāqa). He begs the servants of your teachings to guide and direct [him]

متن: البیع و کتبت ذلک فی شهر جمادی الأول سنه اثنی
و ثمانین و تسعات من الهجره النبویه علی تحیه
و الثناء عریضه امام حسین یا سیدی یا مولای
یا حسین این علی صلوات الله و سلامه علیکم
السلام علیک ایها الشهید المظلوم الوحید
الغریب المهموم المعصوم صلوات الله علیک
و علی روحک المنور و جدک المطهر أراد
تراب رجلکم و محیآ؟ قدمکم و ان یخوذ
الی شرف خدمتکم و تقبل عتبتکم و زیارة
تربتکم بالرءس و العین عبدک الذلیل
المتوطن بالارده بیل؟ فلان و ما تیسر له
هذه الاراده بسبب العوایق و الموانع
و الشواغل و العلایق و الفقر و الفاقه
فیلتمس من خدام تعالمکم ان یوجهوا و یهمو

حاشیه:
مضمون حکم کلانتر
مقرر است که چون از قدیم الایام کلانتر
محل مذبور قزل؟ الماخ؟ بنابر کفایت اندیشی
و خیر خواهی رعایا و برایا که ودایع بدایع
حضرت افریدگارند جل شانه برفعت و معالی پناه شهسوانی
فلانی را مرجوع بوده و مشارالیه مذبور خیرخواهی
و کمطمعی و نیکنفسی موصوف و معروف است
لهذا در معامله رفته؟ سنه؟ مدینه؟ مذکور فلان ییل
کلانتری و به مردی؟ رعایا و محل مذبور را
بدستور استمرار مسول و سابقه برفعت پناه
مشارالیه مفوض و مرجوع نموده شد؟
بدستور مرتکب و مباشر امر مذبور؟
و لوازم و مراسم
ان کما ینبغی و یلیق بوده
دقیقه فوت و فرو گذاشته میماند
و در باب صرفه و غبطه مالیات و نوامی
و آبادانی مملکت و ترقیه مال
رعایا کمال اهتمام بعمل امده
حسن نیکو خدمتی خود را
بیش از پیش بعرصه ظهور رساند
