Description

Poem in elegant Arabic script followed by a curious note: (the poet and/or scribe?) "Mukhliṣ al-Raḥmān b. ʿAlī b. Muḥammad Hādī l-Islām Iyādi (?) was born in 1233H (1817/88 CE). 1263-30=1233." Presumably he was calculating his date of birth based on knowing that he was currently 30 and that the current year was 1847/48 CE.
