1. أمّا الكَريمُ أبو سَعْدٍ وهِمَّتُهُ

    فقد غَدا في العُلا أعجوبَةَ الفَلَكِ

    As for the generous Abu Sa'd and his aspiration,

    he has become, in eminence, the wonder of the heavens.

  2. لَوِ استَعارَ الوَرى إكسيرَ سيرَتِهِ

    لَكانَ أجودَهُمْ في سِيرَةِ المَلَكِ

    If humankind borrowed the elixir of his conduct,

    then their most generous would follow an angel's ways.
