رَأَيتُ سُلَيمانَ الدَعِيَّ مُعَرَّضاً

لِرَفعِ أَكُفٍّ ما لَها عَنهُ مِن كَفِّ

I saw Sulayman al-Da'i exposed

To the raising of palms not averted from him.

فَما راحَةٌ إِلّا لَها فيهِ راحَةٌ

كَأَنَّ قَفاهُ مَشهَدُ الكَفِّ لِلكَفِّ

So no palm has rest but in him is its rest,

As if his nape were the scene of palm meeting palm.
