Their words like rhythmic, metered strokes.

2. Ask the remorseful about their rash ways -
How they fretted, how they yearned those days!

3. She called to the beloved of her cradle, attesting
He had risen to the highest station.

4. No moist pearl can approximate her words,
Nor gold refined match her, perfectly cured.

The wise are not astonished, come what may.

6. His virtues have become exemplars for all
Arabs and non-Arabs, great and small.

7. O singular one of the age, live long, exalted!
Ascend the heights, rejoice and be safe and sated!
