Incipit: "الحمد لله فیاض الحکم والمواهب وموصل الطالبین الی المطالب ... اما بعد بدانکه این فقیر را بسی شغف مى بود بدانستن رباعی قطب الاولیا سلطان ابی سعید ابی الخیر قدس الله روحه ورباعی اینست حورا بناظره نگارم صف زد رضوان ز تعجب کف خود بر کف زد..." Explicit: "و او از معنی این رباعی حالت رجوع بآن جناب فهم کند البته اورا سروری بیدا شود زیرا که خاصیت محبت آنست که محب را هیج لذتی بهتر از ملاقات محبوب نباشد تمت الرسالة" Collation: i, III+2 (8), i ; catchwords present. Layout: Written in 11 lines per page ; frame-ruled. Script: Nastaʻlīq ; exquisite hand ; serifless with characteristic descent of words to baseline and superscripting of final words and letters ; elongation of horizontal strokes ; exaggerated contrast between thickness of horizontal and vertical strokes; text of keywords, text of Qurʼānic excerpts, quoted ḥadīth, etc. in tawqīʻ with tilt to the left and right-sloping head-serif. Decoration: Superb illuminated headpiece (ʻunwān/sarlawḥ) at opening consisting of rectangular piece with cartouche carrying the basmalah in white on a field of lapis lazuli overlaid with a swirling vegetal pattern in gold, surrounded by a delicate vegetal pattern in black with chi clouds in light blue on a field of gold, with entire piece bordered in green or turquoise band ; rectangular piece surmounted by scalloped three semi-circular pieces (domes) filled with a similar delicate vegetal pattern in gold on fields of lapis lazuli, with further gold accents and chi clouds in light blue, all surmounted by vertical stalks (tīgh) ; written area very delicately gold-flecked and surrounded by heavy gold band ; keywords and text of ḥadīth and Qurʼānic excerpts, etc. chrysographed. Support: non-European laid paper with roughly 8 laid lines per cm. (vertical, somewhat indistinct) and no chain lines plainly visible, cloudy formation, fairly thick and sturdy, quite well-burnished.
