1. I saw Sulayman al-Da'i exposed
To the raising of palms not averted from him.
١. رَأَيتُ سُلَيمانَ الدَعِيَّ مُعَرَّضاً
لِرَفعِ أَكُفٍّ ما لَها عَنهُ مِن كَفِّ
2. So no palm has rest but in him is its rest,
As if his nape were the scene of palm meeting palm.
٢. فَما راحَةٌ إِلّا لَها فيهِ راحَةٌ
كَأَنَّ قَفاهُ مَشهَدُ الكَفِّ لِلكَفِّ
