[Al-Hayḍam’s father:] 90.3

[Al-Hayḍam’s father:] 90.3

当你讲述学问之事，以及艾哈迈德已经离去的时候。

When now you told of learning and of Aḥmad gone.

你可能说过泡沫翻涌的大海是干的。

You might have said the foaming sea was dry.

心胸宽厚，敬虔虔诚，气度尊贵，威仪庄重。

Of a gen’rous heart, of piety and lordly sway.

我们失去了一位信仰如此坚定的人。

Of one so firm in faith are we bereft.

当他走近时，你感受到了春天的气息。

At his approach, you felt the breath of spring.

正如其名所示，人人都以赞美之辞谈论他。484

As befits his name, all spoke of him to praise.484
