يجلّ عن المشابهِ والنظيرِ
So take from him a volume that cannot be rivaled.
It bears for you a peerless book
It stands far above any likeness or peer.
That shines beyond all parity,

It trails the hems of pride over al-Badi‘,
Trailing on rhetorical glory,
And beside it, al-Hariri’s embroidery is engraved.
And etching by Al-Harīri.
