Sol 5.6

  1. Al-Raḍī’s death was announced to me, and I said: Indeed,

    I have been told of the death of the master of high distinction and letters.

  2. Who now is there for the utmost goal, and who for the trusted authorities?

    And who for the grammarians, and who for genealogy?

  3. Indeed, he was a sea of learning, and then sank away;

    and indeed, the sinking away of seas is the wonder.

  4. So may he be hallowed—a scholar who lived by his knowledge,

    who stirred my grief when he departed.
