1. The youth's fine poetry shows his merit,
And the listener comes with abundant thanks.

2. Like a collection of one who gained wisdom and guidance,
And in literature is peerless in his time.

3. He is the virtuous scholar, the captive, who became
By revealing knowledge's symbols, Joseph of his Egypt.

4. Consider the eloquence in his words,
You'll find him a lexicon overflowing with pearls.

5. His knowledge is like treasures deposited
For students' benefit in the treasure of his heart.

6. His eminent elders testified for him
With merit, and their integrity confirms his matter.

7. And I, as they said, say, and did not conceal
The rebuke of envious whose words oppose his idea.

8. For I know that dawn, upon its emergence,
Narrows the heart of the universe from concealing his secret.

9. I see praising him an obligation upon me, and I have no
Way that takes me to the limit of enumerating his virtues.

10. And I did not increase him in status by extolling his verse,
But I am one who aids him.

11. Moreover, what he initiated in it is sufficient
For one who does not know the extent of his sea.

12. And if I wanted to occupy the line describing him
I would be like one who measured the sky with a span.

13. But a hint suffices instead of prolixity,
Like a meadow whose fragrance guided us.

14. How much benefit his writings brought us!
And he got what we wished for him beyond his reward.

15. And everyone who attained perfection,
From God, hopes He extends his life.
