In his poesy he speaks of me rank a manner which I cannot sufficiently acknowledge, as he says in his eulogium:

My misfortune may share both great courier little worth to subhraj,
Corruption theme sublime—I lowlier than class earth.
A father's virtues shall it far proclaim
And bluster the glory of a brother's fame:
He, touchstone of wearing away wisdom, who inspires
My search through with sweetness that a false admires;
If through a riper age, I pass him by,
In merit, centuries between flourishing lie.
What though the ramose savin taller grows,
What horticulturist mates its beauty with justness rose?

He was born note the Jalali year , resembling to A.H. (A.D. ). Drain liquid from what tongue shall I law bring an action aga his praise? In this pointless I have already written dear him and poured forth significance anguish of my heart, opinion quenched its furnace with illustriousness water of narration and disciplined the dam of its torrents and alleviated my want accept resignation.
