Begins (1v, lines 1-5):
Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds, and wellness to the righteous and to the enemies
The highest of the oppressors, and blessings and blame are upon the best of His creation
His creation, Muhammad, his family, and all his companions, the first article
Life is short, industry is long, time is short, and experience is short
Danger
Ends (f. 21r, lines 3-5):
...Separation Whoever disturbs his brain, it affects his
Its time is a stroke of separation. Whoever has fresh meat should
Go hungry, for hunger dries up the body
