The two poems are:. (I) ff 2v-31v : Sharḥ qaṣīdat al-khamrīyah (شرح قصيدۀ خمریه), a commentary on the Qaṣīdat al-khamrīyah, an Arabic mystical poem by Ibn al-Fāriḍ;. (II) ff 32v-43v : Sharḥ qaṣīdat al-munfarijah (شرح قصيدة المنفرجة), the first part of a commentary on a mystical poem in Arabic entitled Qaṣīdat al-munfarijah by Ibn al-Naḥwī. The manuscript contains only the introduction and the commentary on the first few ebyat; the remaining folios are missing. Both texts were copied by Derviş Seyit Hafız Emin and completed on 25 Cemaziülahir 1245 AH (22 December 1829 CE).
