|a The author of this elegant poem in a northern dialect laments the human tendency to struggle against God and urges adherence to the duties and principles of Islam. He writes of the self-interest of relatives on burial day and describes the events of the Day of Judgement. This poem probably dates from considerably earlier than the waadhi contained in the same manuscript. The poet (or scribe) identifies it in mathematical terms as ‘alifu bee,’ indicating that it has as many stanzas as there are letters in the Arabic alphabet (28 by one count). |
