أَتَتْنا مَعَ الرُّكْبانِ أَخْبارُ فاضِلٍ
لَهُ في فُنُونِ العِلْم حَظٌّ مُوَفَّرُ
With the caravan-riders came tidings of a man of learning,
Whose share in every branch of knowledge is abundant.
فَلِلَّهِ شرْوانٌ لَقَدْ أَخْرَجَتْ لَنا
فَتىً جاءَ في أَسْفارِهِ العِلْمُ يَسْفِرُ
What a marvel my Shirwān is! It has indeed brought him forth for us—
A youth in whose books knowledge came forth, unveiling itself:
عَجائِبُ أَخْبارٍ غَرائِبُ صَنْعَةٍ
مَناقِبُ جَمْعٍ في البَرِيَّةِ تُذْكَرُ
Wonders of lore, marvels of artistry,
The virtues of a company, recounted among humankind.
