In this bilingual inscription, the guest is invited to two things. One is the first stanza that invites the guest to enter the owner’s palace. The second stanza, or the phrase “Ashhad en la ilaha illallah”, which is a condition for entering Islam, honors the guest by entering Islam.

Persian language has been used as an intermediary language in land and sea trade, religion and art. Undoubtedly, as long as the poetry of Ferdowsi, Khayyam, Nizami, Rudaki, Maulana, Saadi and other notables in the field of Persian poetry and literature are alive, the Persian language will continue.
