وحدات زخرفيه في ٩ مناطق وتضم أبياتاً شعرية بحروف مذهبة ، كتبها الخطاط البغدادي إن للعلم أزهرا يتساما *** كسماء ما طاولتها سماء حين وافاه ذو البناء ولولا *** منة الله ما أقيم البناء رب إن الهدى هداك وآيا *** تك نور تهدي بها من تشاء مذ تناهي أرّخت باب علوم *** وفخار به يجاب الدعاء

Rough translation: In 9 regions at the top of the door is a poem written in golden letters authored by al-Baghdadi For knowledge, al-Azhar like a heaven that no other heaven has reached Even after the builder arrived, without the mercy of God the building would not be built God, the guidance we have is the guidance you have provided, and your proofs are like light with which you guide whoever you choose Since it was completed, the door of knowledge and pride was opened, and with it the answer to the prayers will be achieved.
