Inscription

On the headpiece, with a fez, two inscriptions in the Arabic language are engraved on both sides of the sight, while on the foot, there is an inscription in our language, in Latin. The text of the inscription carved in 18 oblique lines on the front side of the head sight reads:

"Everything in this world is transient.
Stand by the numb and silent graves
And list everyone you know who was alive from the poor and the excellent.
Think and shake off all the desires that can deceive you and live freely without them.
Don't you see how unfaithful time destroys everything that stands intact.
Well, don't you see how time treats the owner of this grave, High Minister Mehmed.
Death suddenly snatched him when he was comfortably enjoying himself in honor and lordship.
And when his supporters obediently followed him and followed his opinion.
In the year one thousand three hundred and fifty-eight, he lay down in the grave.
May he receive thousands of greetings from us, and from the Merciful God an immeasurable mercy.
Year 1358."
On the other side of the head sight is the following inscription in Arabic:

"Thankful dr. Mehmed Spaho, president and political chairman of the Yugoslav Muslim Organization in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Minister of Transport in Yugoslavia.
He died on the 11th of Jumad-l-ul in 1358. per Hijra.
