תיאור

Love poetry, in Arabic script. The name of the beloved is Buthayna and the lover is Jamīl. The poem is written in verse form on both sides and begins with a basmala and an introduction: "Jamīl narrates that he is a dead person if he nears the house of Buthayna, he couldn't control himself [because of the seperatation] and hence penned these verses". The first verse is "كتب المحب الى المحب رسالة * يبكي لها القاري ويبكي الكاتب". The first hemstitch of the verse "كتب المحب الى المحب رسالة" almost resembles the first hemstitch from the poetry of the Abbasid poet al-ʿAbbās b. al-Aḥnaf.
