Begins (f. 47v, lines 9-12):
قال فقير عفو ربه عمر حمد المزلي بالنوال قد عمر
مصليًا ثم مسلمًا على محمد وآله أولى العلاء
وبعد هذه نبذة في العمل بالربع إن مقنطرات تكمل
من اختصار اللفظ في النهاية والكشف في المعنى له في الغاية

فليسر حق ذلك المقول شيئا سوى السماح والقبول
انتهى كما وجد بحمد الله وحسن عونه والصلاة والسلام على سيدنا ومولانا محمد نبيه وعبده وعلى آله
وصحبه وسلم تسليمًا وآخر دعوانا أن الحمد لله رب العالمين
