1. لا العَنبَرُ في الطيب يُباهي فرعَه

    لا العَقلُ يَحدُّ بِالتَناهي فرعَه

    Ambergris does not rival his locks in fragrance.

    Nor can reason set finite bounds to his locks.

  2. ما مُختَصَرُ كفّيه ذو فائِدَةٍ

    ما كادَ مُطَوَّلٌ يُضاهي فرعَه

    The abridgment in his hands is of no benefit.

    Scarcely can a lengthy work rival his locks.
