الحمد لله على تهديتي وعاصمي من التيه بتهديتي
مهيمني خلصني من جهلي وحافظي بعد فراق اهلي
وبعد ما احمده خذ النبذة كتبت من نظمي قصيداً بيته
اكملت ما نظمه المبتدي في صنعة التشريح كيما يهتدي
اوجزت ما اقول من قول الاول مخافة الاقصار عنه والملل
فلنبتدي في صفة العظام واذكر الاعضا في النظام
واذكر الاعصاب والعضل وكل من في العرق قد حصل
واذكر الربط جميعاً والوتر وكل عضو للجميع قد ستر
واتبع النخاع بالعصب وفي وابين الترتيب في التأليف
وبعدها ما قيل في الالية حتي تعد حكمة الحكيمة

Praise be to God for guiding me / and protecting me from straying by His guidance
My Guardian, who saved me from my ignorance / and my Protector after parting from my family
And after praising Him, take this brief tract / I have written a poem from my own verse, constructing it
I completed what the beginner composed / in the art of anatomy, so that he may be guided
I summarized what I say from the words of the former [scholars] / for fear of falling short of it and causing boredom
So let us begin with the description of the bones / and I will mention the organs in order
And I will mention the nerves and the muscles / and all that is contained in the vein
And I will mention all the ligaments and the tendon / and every organ that covers them all
And I will follow the spinal cord fully with the nerves / and I will clarify the arrangement in the composition
And after that, what was said regarding the buttocks / until the wisdom of the Wise One is enumerated
