Sol 6.1

  1. جَزى اللَهُ عَني مِن أضيف إِلى اسمه

    بِأَفضل ما يجزي أولي العلم وَالتَقوى

    May God reward on my behalf the one to whose name I am linked

    with the finest reward He grants those of learning and piety.

  2. وَلا زالَ مَعمور الجنان موفقاً

    مَآثره ما بَينَ أَهل الهُدى تُروى

    And may his heart ever flourish, and success attend him,

    his noble deeds recounted among the rightly guided.

  3. لَقَد فَك بِالتَعليق ما كانَ مُشكلاً

    بَعيداً عَن الأَذهان بِالرتبة القُصوى

    He has indeed unraveled through annotation what was obscure,

    utterly beyond the reach of minds.

  4. وَأَبرز ما أَخفاه عالم هيتم

    بارشق تَعبير مَصون عَن الدَعوى

    And he brought to light what the scholar of Haytam had concealed,

    with the most graceful wording, free from pretension.

  5. سَقاهُ مِن التَحقيق ما طابَ وَرده

    فَكم جائع غذى وَظام بِهِ أروى

    He watered it with rigorous scholarship whose draught was sweet;

    thus he fed so many hungry people and quenched the thirst of so many with it!

  6. بِوالده الحبر الهمام قَد اِقتَدى

    فَأَيده من يعلم السر وَالنَجوى

    He has indeed followed his father, the noble scholar,

    so He who knows secrets and whispers strengthened him.

  7. هُما نيرانا نَهتدي بهداهما

    وَمَن يَهتدي بِالحَق يَنجو مِن البَلوى

    They are our two luminaries; we find our way by their guidance,

    and whoever is guided by truth escapes affliction.

  8. فَحياهما الرَحمَن ما انقض كَوكب

    وَما ترجمت عَين المُحب مِن الشَكوى

    So may the All-Merciful bless them both as long as stars fall,

    and as long as a lover's eye gives voice to lament.
