Milk al-faqīr [the name is erased], ʻafá Allāh ʻanhu, wa-ghafara la-hu dhunūbahu, wa-satara fī al-dārayn ʻuyūbahu, wa-al-Muslimīn ajmaʻīn. Āmīn."
الخاتمة: "وقد تمت المنظومة بحمد الله وعونه وحسن توفيقه. والحمد لله تعالى وحده. والله تعالى أعلم. تمت يوم الأحد المبارك، 3 في شهر شعبان المعظّم، من شهور سنة 1191، بمدينة أسوان، بالصعيد الأعلى. غفر الله لكاتبها وقاريها. ملك الفقير [الأسم ممحى]، عفى الله عنه، وغفر له ذنوبه، وستر في الدارين عيوبه، والمسلمين أجمعين. آمين."
Translation of the colophon: " "The 'Manẓūmah' (treatise in verse) was completed with the praise of God, His help, and His Abundant benevolence. Praise be to God Almighty alone. God Almighty knows best. It was completed on blessed Sunday, the 3rd of the glorious month of Shaʻbān, of the year 1191 [6 September 1777], in the city of Aswān, in Upper Egypt. May God forgive its writer and reader. Owned by the poor [Name erased], may God pardon him, forgive his sins, and cover his faults in both worlds, and all Muslims. Amen."
