| Description |
English: Calligraphic fragment executed in nasta'liq script in white ink on red background. It includes four lines of Persian poetry describing the heavenly scent and life-endowing capabilities of the beloved. The verses read: Agar cha mushk-i az far khush nasim ast / Dam-i jan bakhsh chun buyat nadarad / Maqam-i khub u dilkhwah-st firdaws / Valikin runaq-i kuyat nadarad ("Although musk smells fragrant / It does not breathe life like your scent / Paradise is a good and beloved place / But it is not as splendid as your abode"). Blue panels decorated with gold flower and leaf motifs separate and frame the lines of text. The dimensions of the written surface are 8 (w) x 14 (h) cm. |
