His splendid classification is puzzling

And one of dazzling composition, deemed extraordinary,

One marvels at its curious composition.

It amazes with its strange categorization

Inviting wonder at the strangeness of its design;

كأنها أحرف تصحيحه

As if they were the letters of its correction

As though they were the letters of its correction.
