Sound it out

باز 'bāz' — plain b, a long open ā like 'father', then z; this word ('open') stays fixed and never conjugates.

کردن 'kardan' — the light verb 'to do', which conjugates (konam, kardam, konid) while bāz stays put.

'لطفاً پنجره را باز کنید' (lotfan panjere rā bāz konid, 'Please open the window') marks پنجره (panjere, 'window') with را since it's a specific, definite window. Note the polite request uses the bare present/imperative form konid with no be- prefix — light-verb compounds like bāz kardan typically drop be- in the imperative.

Where English speakers slip

Learners who've learned that Persian imperatives take be- often try to say 'bāz bekonid', but light-verb imperatives like this one normally stay unprefixed — bāz konid is the natural, correct form.
