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. 250^b, the second on fol. 252^a, and the fourth on fol. 253^b.

No. 2650, ff. 250-257, ll. 17; Nasta’lîḳ; size, 12^1/8 in. by 7 in.
