Inscription Text/Poem: The poem in upper side of the folio in Persian:
پی باز آمدن دامن کشیدش
ز سوی پشت پیراهن دریدش
برون رفت از کف آن غم رسیده
بسان غنجه پیراهن دریده
زلیخا زان غرامت سینه زد چاک
جو سایه خویش را افکند بر خاک
Translation: She pulled his skirt for him to return
She tore the back side of his shirt
He pulled away from the hand of that sad driven person
like a torn bud
Zulikha beat her chest at her loss
She dropped herself like a shadow on the soil
(translated by Mohadeseh Salari Sardari, PhD student, Brown University, 2023)
