1. If you examine the beauties of al-Asbahani
You will find his height like the length of his stature

2. Or assess him, you will not find contrary
Between his appearance openly and his hearing

3. Wisdom is taken from the deliberation of his composure
And the success of his tools from his hastening

4. The people descend themselves and gravitas
From his exaltation above them and his loftiness

5. Appointing himself to the earner of praise
It is seen that it is the place of his gathering

6. O Abu Abdullah, may God make you live
For a norm that has generalized us with its manufacture

7. Most of the attainment is lost except what flows
To the source of praise being propagated

8. Do not blame me if I fell short of the debts of the verse meters
Or got tired from carrying to a friend his measure

9. And my stinginess with poetry is sweeter than the stinginess
Of dignitaries with their books and papers

10. This poetry is a growth from the saying
The doer increases in its flexibility

11. It is a temptation in which I was decieved by guile
Until you duped me by acquiring it
