1. Abu Al-Saqr's deeds and acts
Seem to emanate from his face

2. He confronted goodness with kindness
Description falls short of his essence's expanse

3. He has no flaw but that
No eye falls on his likeness

4. O you who visit a pond other than his pond
Count as remote what is near his plenty

5. He met a lad whose deeds the highborn approve
After what comes and in its midst

6. Hopes laugh at his good tidings
And events dread his success

7. No pleasure has made him forget a promise
When it coquettishly woos another, it makes him forget

8. What he gives you in his patience falls short
Of some of what he gives you in his alertness

9. He answers thousands of questions with his eloquence
How excellent that eloquence of his is

10. The most frequent complaint of his guest is
He insists on kindness despite his displeasure
