Bashir confides his love for Habbaza to an Arab friend, and sends him to her with a message, from a Tuti-nama (Tales of a Parrot): Twenty-fourth Night

The image depicts a colorful illustration of a scene with multiple people in various settings. The scene is divided into two main areas: the top and bottom. The top area features a man sitting under a red and white umbrella on a rocky outcrop, wearing an orange robe and white pants. Another man sits on the rocky outcrop to his right, wearing a yellow robe and holding a small object. Behind them, a woman in an orange robe sits under another red and white umbrella on a raised platform. The bottom area shows a woman sitting under a red and white tent, wearing a gold robe and a headpiece, facing a man in a green robe. Other people are partially visible around the tents and platform. The background of the image features a blue sky, pink rocks, green plants, and flowers. The illustration is framed by a beige border with a thin red line around the edge. The overall style of the illustration suggests it is from an ancient or medieval manuscript.
