The book begins with a short introduction by Mirjahani's grandson, Saeed Jazari.<ref>[https://opac.nlai.ir/opac-prod/search/briefListSearch.do?command=FULL_VIEW&id=2254631&pageStatus=1&sortKeyValue1=sortkey_title&sortKeyValue2=sortkey_author Tabatabaee MirJahani Esfahani, pages 19-20]</ref> He informs us of the publication of many of Mirjahani's works with Tahriri writing ( a type of writing style) as well as his own handwriting.<ref>[https://opac.nlai.ir/opac-prod/search/briefListSearch.do?command=FULL_VIEW&id=2254631&pageStatus=1&sortKeyValue1=sortkey_title&sortKeyValue2=sortkey_author Tabatabaee MirJahani Esfahani page 20]</ref> The first prologues of the book which can be seen after the introduction of the corrector and the researcher of the book, focus on crying, different forms of cry, the truth of cry, Ayahs (Quran verses) about crying and the causes of different cries.<ref>[https://opac.nlai.ir/opac-prod/search/briefListSearch.do?command=FULL_VIEW&id=2254631&pageStatus=1&sortKeyValue1=sortkey_title&sortKeyValue2=sortkey_author Tabatabaee MirJahani Esfahani pages 35-39]</ref> In Mirjahani’s view: “crying happens due to sorrow and sad feelings thus  it is not an optional activity.”<ref>[https://opac.nlai.ir/opac-prod/search/briefListSearch.do?command=FULL_VIEW&id=2254631&pageStatus=1&sortKeyValue1=sortkey_title&sortKeyValue2=sortkey_author Tabatabaee MirJahani Esfahani page 34]</ref> The author believes: “crying for God as prayers leads to closeness to God and it will be rewarded by him. If crying is for the world and its illegitimate desires and sins and disobeying God, the result will be reverse.”<ref>[https://opac.nlai.ir/opac-prod/search/briefListSearch.do?command=FULL_VIEW&id=2254631&pageStatus=1&sortKeyValue1=sortkey_title&sortKeyValue2=sortkey_author Tabatabaee MirJahani Esfahani, page 38]</ref>

The main content of the book begins with some Hadith on “the rewards of crying and making people cry for the calamities Hadrat Abi Abd Allah al-Husayn went through (first Bab).<ref>[https://opac.nlai.ir/opac-prod/search/briefListSearch.do?command=FULL_VIEW&id=2254631&pageStatus=1&sortKeyValue1=sortkey_title&sortKeyValue2=sortkey_author Tabatabaee MirJahani Esfahani pages 55-88]</ref> The Arabic text as well as the Persian translation of twenty eight hadiths is presented for this subject. Moreover the author mentions the “story of the pious from Bani Israel, the necessity of reward and punishment and an explanation about the rewards of crying”<ref>[https://opac.nlai.ir/opac-prod/search/briefListSearch.do?command=FULL_VIEW&id=2254631&pageStatus=1&sortKeyValue1=sortkey_title&sortKeyValue2=sortkey_author Tabatabaee MirJahani Esfahani pages 72-74]</ref>. Then a more expanded narration of those subjects by the author creates the content of the second Bab or chapter. The third Bab is about some important things regarding crying, the four chapters of the fourth Bab are about the prophets’ crying for that Hadrat and the God informing them of his martyrdom (consisted of twenty seven Hadiths), the fifth Bab is “about the skies and the earth and their inhabitants’ cry for Husayn (consisted of forty Hadiths), the sixth Bab is “on the Hadiths about crying and the sorrow of all inhabitants of the skies” (consisting of eleven Hadiths). The major part of the seventh Bab is dedicated to the author’s opinion about different issues of mourning and crying for Ashura. 

The content of the other parts of Boka Lel-Husayn is dedicated to other issues regarding crying for Imam Husyan. “Stating lamentation and mourning of the believer Jins for that Imam” (ninth Bab)<ref>[https://opac.nlai.ir/opac-prod/search/briefListSearch.do?command=FULL_VIEW&id=2254631&pageStatus=1&sortKeyValue1=sortkey_title&sortKeyValue2=sortkey_author Tabatabaee MirJahani Esfahani pages 337-352]</ref> are among the other subjects that Mirjahani mentions.
