Tarjuma-i-Ash’âr-i-Gulistân (ترجمۀ اشعار گلستان).

A Persian translation of all the Arabic verses and sentences which occur in Sa’dî’s Gulistân, by an anonymous another, beginning:الحمد لله المعبود كه مناشير تناشير الخ.

This paraphrase is divided into five faṣls, the first of which comprises the verses of the Ḳurân (در كتاب و آيات مجيد); the second, the traditions (در احاديث عظيم); the third, the sayings of the Shaikhs (در قول مشايخ); the fourth, all the rest of the Arabic verses (در اشعار عربيّه); and the fifth, whole Arabic phrases and sentences (در لغات و كلمات تامّات). The third and fifth of these faṣls are entirely missing in this copy. The first begins on fol. 250b, the second on fol. 252a, and the fourth on fol. 253b.
