1. By my life, you have done nobly, O son of al-Mudabbir;

    in doing good, you have ever been al-Mudabbir’s very image.

  2. You have shown true wit—and whoever gathers as much learning as

    you have gathered, O Abu Ishaq, grows witty and renowned.

  3. You made tears flow over both cheeks; had that weeping been

    a necklace of pearls, it would have been a treasure among treasures.

Sol 5.6
