In Turkish:

‘amel el-hacc ahmed sahib mustafa sene 1281
ya muhammad kıl şefa’at ümmetindir ahmed



“Work of El-Hacc Ahmed, owner Mustafa. Year 1281 (1864-65).
Intercede, O Muhammad, for the sake of Ahmed, who is from your community.”

A Turkish couplet:

ey gönül bir can içün her cana minnet eyleme
işret-i dünya içün sultana minnet eyleme


“O heart, for the sake of one (i.e your own) life do not plead with every soul,
For the pleasures of this world do not plead with a sultan.”
