Mirât-alḥaḳâ’iḳ (مرآة الحقائق).

The mirror of truth, another short didactic poem in the form of a ḳaṣîdah, by the same Muwâlî, beginning:

سخن را ابتدا كردم بنام حىّ منّانش

عليم عالمش ميدانم و قيّوم رحمانش

The title occurs in the last bait but one, on fol. 128^a:

بمرآت الحقائق شد مسمّى اين كلام من

خداوندا بكن نامى زفرط و فضل احسانش

Dated by the same transcriber, on the same day in the same year, as the preceding نظم الدرر, and concluded by a few baits from the copyist’s pen.

No. 2108, ff. 123^b-128^a, ll. 13; Nasta’lîḳ; size, 7¼ in. by 4¾ in.
