However, his work was far from being understood in terms of content, style and language by Abu'l-Hayr who was only eight years old at the time. Due to being of a certain age, the Poet feared that he would be unable to guide his son in related matters, so he wanted to leave written advice for him as inheritance. Written to provide guidance and teach manners, the work contains some topics related to political, social, economic and cultural areas.
