Description

Somewhat mysterious text in Judaeo-Arabic. Likely a letter. The sender/narrator speaks in roundabout ways about his passion (ṣabwa) for the addressee and his shame that prevented him from doing something - so perhaps this is the preface to a request. There is something about an oath in the last two lines.
