1. منثور هذا الكتاب حين أتى

    يسمو على الدر وهو منظوم

    The prose of this book, when it arrived,

    surpasses pearls, though they are strung.

  2. أهدى لنا عرفه بمقدمه

    تأرج المسك وهو مختوم

    It offered us its fragrance upon arrival—

    the wafting scent of musk, though it was sealed.
