بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
پـس لـہ حمـده د الهی و درود نـامـحدود
پـہ جناب حضـرت رسـالت پناهي
مخفی و پټـہ د پاتي نـہ شي چـہ دا کتابچـہ
ده مشتملـہ پـر سـوال وجـواب د دولتـي
بنـد وبـسـت سلطنتی پـہ غـہ کال کښـی چـہ
سنـہ هجـري دِ نبو ي صـ يـو سـ لـہ و ديسـو
Roughly two thirds of characters agree with a modern printed edition of the same text. Much of the disagreement is editorial, not misreading. Treat the transcription as a finding aid and read the page image before quoting. How this was measured.
