1. I bid farewell, and delight blossomed as he smiled,
Did you see how the heart precedes the mouth?

2. The gentleness of his soul played with his composure,
And shared it - nothing is more beautiful than them both.

3. He walked towards me, his steps dignified,
As though he strode the path engraving it.

4. Elegant, radiant, I thought him
The essence of elegance and radiance from the dolls.

5. His heart greeted me before his tongue did
When he smiled from his eyes and bid farewell.

6. Love is what his cheerful face revealed,
And kindness is what his tongue dispensed and shared.

7. The wise man spoke true that manliness has its glory,
And it is manly to pardon and show mercy.

8. I extolled your nobility by being chaste, protecting it,
And kept your stature safe from harm and blemish.

9. Medicine is a blessing from heaven upon the world,
So summon the doctor as though calling upon the sky.

10. Your hands carry your knowledge and your heart,
This tenderness folded, and that healing balm.

11. The generous hand is outstretched to the dew,
But modesty prevented it from touching.

12. The eloquent tongue sees eloquence as disgraceful,
When it borders on tactless bluntness.

13. The keen hearing avoided gossip and slander,
And the articulate became mute and deaf.

14. I reproached him, but he is discretion itself,
And I tested him, but he is determination embodied.

15. In a gathering, crowds flocked to hear him,
Like a torrent rushing down a valley they came.

16. They came to listen, but heard nothing
More sublime, or dearer speech.

17. He praised morals, so they remembered through him
Jesus, as he preached to the crowds and taught.

18. He rallied the red freedom in
Words, as though its letters dripped blood.

19. His voice flows over his expressions,
Like a reciter chanting Surat Maryam.

20. We are made to seem, through his eloquence,
As though we argue with his joking, chanting.

21. In his eyes, eloquence like his tongue –
Between them, the orator cannot silence.

22. Contentment walks to you with his pleasure,
And his wrath illuminates hell for you.

23. The departed one of today, his day
Is like yesterday, imagined and unreal.

24. Would that eloquence obeyed me, and I elegized him
With the greatest that eloquence can inspire, the sublimest.
