1. وَشادِنٍ في الحُسنِ كَالطاووس

    أَخلاقُهُ كَليلَة العَروسِ

    And a young gazelle, like a peacock in beauty,

    His character is like a bride’s wedding night.

  2. قَد نالَ بِالخَط من النُفوسِ

    ما لَم تَنَلهُ الرومُ من طَرسوسِ

    Through his handwriting he has won from souls

    What the Byzantines did not win from Tarsus.
