وأبلغُ من عبدِ الحميدِ وجعفرٍ
ويحيى وإسماعيلَ أعني ابنَ عبادِ
More eloquent, too, than ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd and Jaʿfar,
than Yaḥyā and Ismāʿīl—I mean Ibn ʿAbbād.
فلا زالَ محروساً ولا زالَ ذكرُهُ
وأخبارُهُ أذكى من النَّدِّ في النادِي
May he remain protected, and may his renown never cease;
may tidings of him be more fragrant than incense in the assembly.
Sol 5.6
