بخش ۳۲ - در صفت حدت فهم و جودت نظم و نثر وی / Section 32 - On the Description of the Sharpness of His Understanding and the Excellence of His Verse and Prose

Original content

لطف طبعش در سخن مو می شکافت
لفظ نشنیده به معنی می شتافت

پیش ازان کش لفظ در گوش آمدی
معنیش در ربقه هوش آمدی

هر چه نظم از بحر طبعش یک گهر
هر چه نثر از باغ لطفش یک ثمر

چون ثریا پایه نظمش بلند
چون بنات النعش نثرش ارجمند

در لطایف لعل او حاضر جواب
در دقایق فهم او صافی چو آب

خط او چون خط خوبان دل فریب
خوشنویسان زان چو عاشق ناشکیب

چون گرفتی خامه مشکین رقم
آفرین کردی بر او لوح و قلم

جانش از هر حکمتی محفوظ بود
نکته های حکمتش محفوظ بود

در ادای حکمت یونانیان
گفتیش یونانیان نعم البیان

English translation

The grace of his nature split hairs in speech; An unheard word would hasten towards the meaning. Before the word would even reach his ear, Its meaning would fall into the bond of his intellect. Every verse from the ocean of his nature was a pearl; Every prose from the garden of his grace was a fruit. Like the Pleiades, the foundation of his poetry was high; Like the Ursa Major, his prose was precious. In witty subtleties, his ruby lip was quick to answer; In delicate matters, his understanding was as clear as water. His calligraphy was heart-alluring like the beautiful down of the beloved; Calligraphers were restless like lovers because of it. When his musk-scented pen began to write, The Tablet and the Pen praised him. His soul was safeguarded by every wisdom; The subtle points of his wisdom were preserved. In expressing the wisdom of the Greeks, You would say of him, 'What an excellent exposition!'
