Summary of Contents: رساله معما Jámí's Treatise on Acrostics and Riddles, entitled Risála-i-Mu'ammá, beginning: ای اسم تو گنجقانع ز تو هر کسی باسمی
هم اسم توئی و هم مسما عاجز شده عقل ازین معما
معما كلاميست موزون که دلالت کند بر اسمی از اسما بطریق رمز و ایما، دلالتی که پسندیده
طبعهای سلیم، و ذهنهای مستقیم باشد و ناظم معمارا ناچارست از دو امر الخ
