1. إِنَّي لأَعْجَبُ كَيْفَ يَحْسُنُ عِنُدَهُ

    شِعْرٌ مِنَ الأَشْعارِ معْ إِحسانِهِ

    Indeed, I marvel how he can admire

    Any poetry, given his own excellence.

  2. ما ذاكَ إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ دُرُّ النّهى

    يَفِدُ التِّجارُ بهِ عَلى دِهْقانِهِ

    That is only because it is pearls of intellect;

    Merchants come bearing it to its master.
