This volume contains a free translation of the Persian poem of the same name by Jāmī in the same metre as the original, by Kemalpaşazade (died 941 AH/1535 CE). The poem is followed by some verses of Necati and a Gurrename (f 204r) for finding on what day of the week the first day of a given month will fall. This manuscript was likely copied in the 16th century CE.
