1. Ahmad is still praised among people
For his generosity has adorned me

2. A sincere friend whose essence I reviewed
I saw necklaces and bracelets from him

3. His companions, had they lived, would be :
chains to his friendship, ever bound

4. His papers reveal themselves in his handwriting
I mistook them for rolling dunes

5. As for poetry, if revealed in his lines
One would imagine it a well-tended garden

6. If not for Abu Al Abbaas permitting his talent
I would not have clothed my poetry in anything but coldness

7. Unique in literature since time began
Guiding to the ears from him something unmatched

8. Refined, with the crown of his pride
Ever affixed above his forehead

9. Knowledge decays, so whatever he gained of its luster
He returned anew, vigorously replenished

10. The banner of his lofty knowledge still billowing
Forever vigorously waving above him
