Description

Probably a fragment of a poetry dīwān. Preface (tamhīd) followed by verses of love poetry on recto. The preface mentions a lover striving to appease his beloved by becoming her guide (dalīl) so that she has a change of heart (yaʿṭifu qalbuhu ʿalayya). The rhyme (rawī) of the qaṣida on recto is 'dāl' and 'ʿain' on verso, preceded by a short preface.
