Beginning with an invocation to huwa al-mu'izz (God as the Glorified), the verses read: “Do not get tied to any person or to any place / Because the land and sea are vast and people are many / If a thousand beautiful ones come towards you / Look, move on, and do not get attached to anybody.” Executed in black nasta'liq script on a beige paper, the verses are highlighted from the cloud motifs formed by the gold-painted background. The text panel is decorated by salmon and blue borders with gold motifs and pasted to a larger sheet of brown paper backed by cardboard. In the lower-left corner, the calligraphic specimen has been signed by a certain Muhammad Riza "Kitabdar" (the librarian). On the verso of this fragment, a later note attributes the work to a certain "Muhammad Riza Lahuri" as well. Judging from these two notes, it appears that Muhammad Riza was a librarian-calligrapher in Lahore. He may have formed part a group of calligraphers active in Lahore during the 18th century, which included 'Abdallah Lahuri, Muhammad Zahir Lahuri, and Muhammad Muhsin Lahuri.”—library of congress; The Library of Congress donated copies of the digitized material (along with extensive bibliographic records) containing more than 163,000 pages of documents to ACKU, the collections that include thousands of historical, cultural, and scholarly materials dating from the early 1300s to the 1990s includes books, manuscripts, maps, photographs, newspapers and periodicals related to Afghanistan in Pushto, Dari, as well as in English, French, German, Russian and other European languages ACKU has a PDF copy of the item; عنوان توسط فهرستنویس تهیه گردیده; این نسخه فقط به شکل پی دی اف در کتابخانه موجود می باشد UR - https://doi.org/10.29171/azu_acku_risalah_nk3639_p4_ray229_1700 ER -
