This calligraphic fragment is in very poor condition. The four verses of Persian poetry are interrupted by a number of large holes in the paper. A few words are still legible, however:  “want to see your face again / Seeing your beauty... made my fortune / Hand... without end / presence made (my) heart and eye happy.” In the upper-right corner appears a pasted gold panel, while the lower-right corner contains the truncated name of the calligrapher, Safi al-Husayni. This calligrapher is otherwise unknown; he may have been active in Persia or India sometime during or after the 16th century. Calligraphy, Persian; Illuminations; Persian poetry; Poetry
