The Khamsa of Nizami: This book is an ornament of the page of time. The merit of the book is suited to the quality of the reader. for each small detail of it the artist has procured limpid gold. The sky became mother of pearl, the sun was made Saturn. By the cover bound upon its soft face. For lovers each leaf is a new chapter. Its composition is a Treasury of the Secrets of Wisdom. In wisdom the book is deeper than the pearl of pure water. It is the perfect verse orf an intimate friend. It brings a hundred ideas, but speaks only tha which is true.
