This pamphlet begins with a poem by Abu Tammam in which he eulogizes Muhammad bin Hamid Al-Tusi.
كذا فليجل الخطب وليفدحِ الأمرُ
فليس لعين لم يفض ماؤها عذرُ
Translated as:
The debt is so great and heartbreaking, my dears;
Never excused is an eye that did not shed tears
He also discusses the poetry of another two Arab poets: Al-Mutanabbi and al-Buhturi, enumerating the subject matter of their poems.
