قنت

1 قُنُوتٌ is the inf. n. of قَنَتَ, (MA, Msb,) aor. ـُ (Msb,) and signifies The being obedient: (S, M, MA, Mgh, K, TA:) or the being constantly obedient: (IAmb, O, TA:) the former is the primary meaning: and hence, in the Kur [xxxiii. 35], ↓ وَالْقَانِتَاتِ ↓ وَالْقَانِتِينَ [And the obedient men and the obedient women]. (S, M, TA.) One says, قَنَتَ لِلّٰهِ, (MA,) and قَنَتَ اللّٰهَ, (TA,) [but this latter is unusual, the former only being authorized by the Kur-án (in iii. 38 and xxxiii.

31),] meaning He was obedient to God. (MA, TA.) And it is said in the Kur [ii. 110 and xxx. 25], ↓ كُلٌّ لَهُ قَانِتُونَ i. e. All are obedient unto Him: but the meaning here is, that the beings in heaven [and earth] are created by the will of God, and that none of them can alter the form in which it is created; the obedience here spoken of being obedience to the will [of God], not the obedience of religious service; some of them being obedient [in this sense], and others being disobedient. (L, TA.) [It is said that] the proper signification of ↓ القَانِتُ [or the signification that implies all the meanings of the word] is The performer of the command of God. (L, TA.) b2: It signifies also The act of standing; (Mgh, TA;) mentioned by Th, and asserted by him to be the primary meaning. (TA.) and (TA) The standing long. (IAmb, O, TA.) and (TA) The standing in the performance of the divinely-appointed act of prayer. (S, Msb, K, TA.) [See also 4.] Hence, (Mgh, Msb, TA,) it is said in a trad. (S, TA) of the Prophet, as a reply given by him to the question أَىُّ الصَّلَاةِ

أَفْضَلُ, (TA,) أَفْضَلُ الصَّلَاةِ طُولُ القُنُوتِ (S, Mgh, Msb, TA) i. e. [The most excellent characteristic of the performance of the divinely-appointed act of prayer is] the long continuance of the standing. (Mgh, * Msb, * TA.) And hence, قُنُوتُ الوِتْرِ; (S; [see art. وتر;]) or [as it is also termed] دُعَآءُ القُنُوتِ, which means The supplication of the standing; (Msb;) for one utters the supplication standing: (TA:) and what is thus termed (دُعَآءُ القُنُوتِ) is as follows: اَللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْتَعِينُكَ وَنَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَنُؤْمِنُ بِكَ وَنَتَوَكَّلُ عَلَيْكَ وَنُثْنِى عَلَيْكَ الخَيْرَ وَلَا نَكْفُرُكَ وَنَخْلَعُ وَنَتْرُكُ مَنْ يَفْجُرُكَ اَللّٰهُمَّ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَلَكَ نُصَلِّى وَنَسْجُدُ وَإِلَيْكَ نَسْعَى وَنَحْفِدُ نَرْجُو رَحْمَتَكَ وَنَخْشَى عَذَابَكَ إِنَّ عَذَابَكَ بِالكُفَّارِ مُلْحِقٌ i. e. O God, verily we beg of Thee aid to be obedient and to forsake disobedience, and we beg of Thee forgiveness of sins, [and we believe in Thee, and we rely upon Thee,] and we laud Thee well, and we will not be unthankful to Thee for Thy favour, and we cast off and forsake him who disobeys Thee: [O God, Thee we worship, and to Thee we perform the divinely-appointed act of prayer, and prostrate ourselves;] and we are quick in working for Thee and in serving Thee: we hope for Thy mercy, and we dread Thy punishment: verily Thy punishment overtakes the unbelievers; thus this clause is expl. on the authority of Ks: or, as some say, it means, causes others to overtake, or become associated with, the unbelievers. (Mgh. [See also art. لحق.]) It is said of the Prophet, قَنَتَ شَهْرًا فِى صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ بَعْدَ الرُّكُوعِ يَدْعُو عَلَى رِعْلٍ وَذَكُوَانَ [He stood during a month, in the prayer of daybreak, after (the prayers of) the رُكُوع (pl. of رَكَعَ, q. v.), cursing (the tribes of) Rial and Dhekwán]. (TA.) b3: Also The act of supplicating [God]: (Zj, Mgh, O, Msb, K, TA:) this is the signification [most] commonly known. (Zj, Mgh, O, TA.) And [particularly, accord. to general usage,] The supplicating God [by addressing Him with the form of words mentioned above as used in what is termed دُعَآءُ القُنُوتِ], doing so standing. (TA.) b4: And The divinely-appointed act of prayer; syn. صَلَاةٌ. (IAmb, O, TA.) b5: And The being silent; (O, Msb, K, TA;) by which is meant (O, * TA) the withholding oneself from talking; (O, * K, TA;) in, or during, [the prayer called] الصَّلَاة. (O, * Msb, TA.) Hence, (O, Msb, TA,) accord. to a trad., (O, TA,) the saying in the Kur [ii. 239], وَقُومُوا

↓ لِلّٰهِ قَانِتِينَ [And stand ye unto God, in the divinely-appointed act of prayer, refraining from talking]. (O, Msb, TA.) b6: And The serving of God. (TA.) b7: And The continuing of the performance of the pilgrimage. (TA.) One says, [قَنَتَ and] ↓ اقنت, meaning He continued the performance of the pilgrimage. (IAar, O, K, TA.) b8: And The prolonging of engaging in warring, or warring and plundering. (TA.) One says, [قَنَتَ and] ↓ اقنت, meaning He prolonged the engaging in warring, or warring and plundering. (IAar, O, K, TA.) b9: And The confessing, or acknowledging, one's being in the condition of a servant [to God]. (TA.) b10: and The being lowly, humble, or submissive: (A, TA:) or the keeping to obedience [to God], with lowliness, humility, or submissiveness. (Er-Rághib, TA.) One says, قَنَتَ لَهُ He was, or became, lowly, humble, or submissive, to him. (TA.) and قَنَتَتِ المراة لِزَوْجِهَا, (A,) or لِبَعْلِهَا, (TA,) The woman was, or became, lowly, humble, or submissive, and obedient, to her husband: (A:) or was, or became, quiet and submissive; syn. أَقَرَّت. (TA.) [See also 4, and 8.]

A2: قَنَاتَةٌ [is an inf. n., of which the verb is قَنُتَ, like قَتُنَ, and] signifies The eating little [like قَتَانَةٌ]. (K.) 4 اقنت He stood long in the performance of the divinely-appointed act of prayer. (O, K.) [And قَنَتَ has the same, or nearly the same, meaning; as is shown above.] b2: Also, [like قَنَتَ عَلَى عَدُوِّهِ,] He cursed his enemy. (IAar, O, K.) b3: See also 1, last quarter, in two places. b4: Also He lowered, humbled, or submitted, himself to God. (IAar, O, K.) 8 اقتنت He was, or became, tractable, or submissive. (TA.) [And اكتنت has a similar meaning.]

قَنُوتٌ A woman lowly, humble, or submissive, and obedient [to her husband]. (A.) قَنِيتٌ A woman who eats little: (O, K:) as also قَتِينٌ. (O.) b2: سِقَآءٌ قَنِيتٌ i. q. مِسِّيكٌ, so in a copy of the K, meaning [A skin] that retains the water; and this is the right explanation: (TA:) but accord. to Az and Z, the word مسيك thus used is like أَمِيرٌ; and سِقَآءٌ مَسِيكٌ is expl. by Z as meaning [a skin] that does not exude, and by Az as meaning [a skin] that retains the water so that it does not exude: (TA in art. مسك:) in the present art., in some of the copies of the K, مُسِيلٌ, the act. part. n. from أَسَالَ المَآءَ; and thus in a copy of the Tekmileh. (TA in the present art.: in the O, in this art., it is مَسِيلٌ.) قَانِتٌ [part. n. of قَنَتَ in all its senses]: see three exs. in the first quarter of the first paragraph, and another ex. in the last quarter; its [broken] pl., in all its senses is قَنَّتٌ. (ISd, TA.)

نجز

1 نَجِزَ, aor. ـَ (S, K,) inf. n. نَجَزٌ; (S;) and نَجَزَ, aor. ـُ (K,) inf. n. نَجْزٌ; (TK;) It (a thing, S, TA,) came to an end; came to nought; perished, passed away: (S, K, TA:) in these senses, the former is the more chaste, and has been so generally used that the latter has been said to be not allowable; but both have been heard. (TA.) It (a speech or discourse) finished, (K, TA,) and became complete. (TA.) He (a man) died: (S:) occurring in a verse of En-Nábighah Edh-Dhubyánee: as related by J, نَجِزَ; but as related by A 'Obeyd, نَجَزَ. (TA.) A2: نَجَزَ الوَعْدُ, (A, Mgh, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (Msb, K,) inf. n. نَجْزٌ; (Msb;) and نَجِزَ, aor. ـَ (K;) inf. n. نَجَزٌ; (TK;) The promise came to pass, and was accomplished: (A, Mgh:) or the promise was prompt, or quick, in taking effect: (Msb:) or the thing promised (TK) came, arrived, or became present: (K, TA:) in this sense, the former is the more chaste; but both have been heard. (TA.) A3: نَجَزَ is also trans.: see 4, in four places.2 نَجَّزَ see 4.3 ناجزهُ, (Mgh,) or ناجزهُ القِتَالَ, (A,) inf. n. مُنَاجَزَةٌ, (S, A, Mgh, K,) He fought him: (K:) or he went, or came, out, or forth, in the field, to fight him, (S, Mgh, Msb,) and fought him: (S, Mgh:) or he (a horseman) went, or came, out, or forth, into the field, to fight him, (another horseman,) and they strove together until each of them slew the other, or until one of them was slain: (TA:) and ↓ تَنَاجُزٌ signifies the same as مُنَاجَزَةٌ: (K:) you say, تَنَاجَزَ القَوْمُ, meaning, The people contended together in the mutual shedding of blood; as though they hastened in doing so. (TA.) [Hence the saying,] إِنْ رُمْتَ المُحَاجَزَهْ فَقَبْلَ المُنَاجَزَهْ [If thou desire the reciprocal prevention of fighting, and the making of peace, let it be before fighting]: (A:) or المُحَاجَزَهْ قَبْلَ المُنَاجَزَهْ (S, K) [the reciprocal prevention of fighting, and] the making of peace, [should be] before the striving together, (المُعَالَجَة, as in the CK,) or hastening, (المُعَالَجَة, as in some copies of the K and in the TA, and, accord. to the latter, المُسَارَعَة,) in fighting: (K, TA:) a proverb: (S, TA:) relating to the prudence of him who hastens to flee from him whom he has not power to withstand: (K:) or applied to him who seeks peace after fighting. (A 'Obeyd, K.) b2: Also, He contended with him in an altercation; disputed with him; litigated with him.

(A.) b2: انجز الوَعْدَ, (A, Mgh, CK,) and ↓ نَجَزَهُ, (S,) He fulfilled, or performed, the promise: (S, * A, * Mgh, CK:) or he made the promise to be prompt, or quick, in taking effect. (Msb.) Yousay also, انجز عَلَىَّ المَوْعِدَ He fulfilled to me the promise; (K, accord. to the TA;) as also ↓ نَجَزَ بِهِ: (TA:) and بِهِ ↓ نَجَزْتُهُ I made it to be prompt, or quick in taking effect to him. (Msb.) [Hence the saying,] أَنْجَزَ حُرٌّ مَا وَعَدَ (S, K) An ingenuous man fulfils what he promises: a proverb: (TA:) alluding to the fulfilment of a promise: and sometimes, to the asking, or demanding, the fulfilment thereof: El-Hárith the son of 'Amr said to Sakhr the son of Nahshal, “ Shall I guide thee to booty and one fifth of it be for me? ” and he answered, “Yes: ” so he guided him to some people from El-Yemen, and Sakhr made a sudden attack upon them, and engaged with them in conflict, and overcame, and obtained booty; and when he turned back, El-Hárith said to him the above words, and Sakhr fulfilled his promise to him. (K.) b3: انجز عَلَى القَتِيلِ He hastened and completed, or made certain, the slaughter of the slain man; i. q. أَجْهَزَ عَلَيْهِ. (Abu-l-Mikdám Es-Sulamee and K.) 5 تَنَجَّزَ see 10, in five places.6 تَنَاْجَزَ see 3.10 استنجز حَاجَتَهُ, and ↓ تنجّزها, He sought, or asked, or demanded, the accomplishment of his want, from him who had promised him; (Msb;) syn. إِسْتَنْجَحَهَا. (S, K.) And استنجز الوَعْدَ, and ↓ تنجّزها, (Mgh,) or العِدَةَ, (K,) He sought, or asked, or demanded, the fulfilment of the promise: (Mgh, K:) and العِدَةَ ↓ تنجّزهُ he asked of him the fulfilment of the promise. (TA.) Hence, البَرَاآتِ ↓ تَنَجُّزُ The demanding and receiving of immunities. (Mgh.) You say also, إِسْتَنْجَزْتُ مِنْهُ كِتَابًا, and تَنَجَّزْتُهُ, [app. meaning, I sought, or asked, or demanded, of him the finishing, or completion, of a writing, or letter, or book.] (A.) نَجْزٌ and ↓ نُجْزٌ are syn. You say, أَنْتَ عَلَى

نَجْزِ حَاجَتِكَ, and حَاجَتِكَ ↓ نُجْزِ, Thou art on the point of accomplishing thy want. (S, K.) نُجْزٌ: see نَجْزٌ.

نَجِيزٌ: see نَاجِزٌ, in three places.

You say, بِعْتُهُ نَاجِزًا بِنَاجِزٍ (S, A, Mgh, Msb) [I sold it, or I sold to him,] present, or ready, [merchandise,] for present, or ready, [money,] (TA,) like يَدًا بِيَدٍ, (S, A, Mgh, Msb,) i. e., تَعْجِيلًا بِتَعْجِيلٍ. (S.) And لَا يُبَاعُ غَائِبٌ بِنَاجِزٍ, meaning, A debt to be paid at a future time shall not be sold for ready money. (Mgh.) And نَاجِزٌ بِنَاجِزٍ is a proverb, [meaning Ready merchandise with ready money,] like يَدٌ بِيَدٍ, and عَاجِلٌ بِعَاجِلٍ. (TA.) It is said in a trad., بِيعُوا حَاضِرًا بِنَاجِزٍ [Sell ye present merchandise for ready money]. (S.) And a poet ('Abeed Ibn-El-Abras, TA, art. كلأ,) says, وَإِذَا تُبَاشِرُكَ الهُمُو مُ فَإِنَّهَا كَالٍ وَنَاجِزْ (S, TA, ubi supra;) [And when griefs attend thee, know that] they are, some, debts to be payed at future periods, and some, payments in ready money. (TA, ubi supra.) The saying [of 'Abd-Allah Ibn-'Ámir El-Kurashee, owner of a horse named Esh-Shamoos, (TA, art. شمس,)]

جَرْىَ الشَّمُوسِ نَاجِزًا بِنَاجِزِ [app. meaning, Quickly as the running of EshShamoos; ready with ready, or prompt with prompt;] is explained by IAar, as meaning, Thou hast given an evil recompense and I have recompensed thee in like manner: or, as he says in one place, this is said when one does a thing and thou dost the like thereof; he not being able to go beyond thee in word or in deed. (TA.) [Respecting this saying, Freytag says, in his Arab. Prov., i. 305, (where, for نَاجِزًا we find نَاجِزٌ,) that it applies to him who is equal to the execution of the things which he undertakes, as well good as bad: and that جَرَى is to be supplied before جَرْىَ.]

خسر

1 خَسِرَ, (S, A, Msb, K, &c.,) aor. ـَ (K;) and خَسَرَ, aor. ـِ (K;) but the latter is an unusual form [except in the sense of أَخْسَرَ]; (B, TA;) inf. n. خُسْرَانٌ (S, A, Msb, K) and خُسْرٌ (S, Msb, K) and خَسَارَةٌ (Msb, K) [which are the only forms assigned in the TA to the verb when used with reference to traffic] and خُسُرٌ and خَسْرٌ and خَسَرٌ and خَسَارٌ; (K;) He lost, or suffered loss or diminution: or he was deceived, cheated, beguiled, or circumvented: (K:) فِى البَيْعِ in selling; (S;) or فِى بَيَعِهِ in his selling; (A;) or فِى تِجَارَتِهِ in his traffic: (Msb, K: [see also 4:]) the former is the original signification: (TA:) he suffered diminution of his capital; he lost part thereof: (B, TA:) and he lost his capital altogether. (Bd in iv. 118; &c.) خُسْرَانٌ is also attributed to an action, as well as to a man: (B, TA:) you say, (but in this case the verb is used tropically, A,) خَسِرَتْ تِجَارَتُهُ (tropical:) [His traffic was losing; or an occasion of loss]; (A, B;) opposed to رَبِحَتْ.

(Bd.) For instance, you say, خَسِرَ عَقْلَهُ, and مَالَهُ, He lost his intellect, and his property. (IAar.) [In a phrase of this kind, the noun which immediately follows the verb may be considered as put in the accus. case on account of the rejection of a prep., namely فِى: for] it is said that خَسِرَ is never used otherwise than intransitively: though this has been contradicted, on the ground of the following phrase in the Kur [xxii. 11], خَسِرَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةَ [He hath lost, or he loseth, the things of the present life and of the latter life]; and the like; as الَّذِينَ خَسِرُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَ أَهْلِيهِمْ [Who shall have lost themselves, or their own souls, and their families, or their wives; Kur xxxix. 17 and xlii. 44]; (MF, TA;) i. e., themselves, or their own souls, by their having erred, and their families by their having caused them to err, or by being separated from them for ever; (Bd;) or by being themselves made to remain for ever in Hell, and by their not gaining access to the حُور prepared in Paradise [as wives] for the believers: (Jel:) or the meaning is, accord. to Fr, who shall be deceived of their own souls, &c.: or, accord. to others, who shall have destroyed their own souls, &c. (TA.) b2: Also [He experienced, or saw, that he was loser; or] his having lost became manifest to him: so in the Kur xl. [78 and] last verse.

A2: أَحْصَنَتْ, intrans.: see 1, in two places. b2: In the Kur iv. 30, some read فَإِذَا أَحْصَنَّ; and accord. to Ibn-Mes'ood, this, said of female slaves, means And when they are Muslimehs. (TA.) Accord. to Aboo-Haneefeh, الإِحْصَانُ in a case of stoning involves six conditions; The being a Muslimeh, and free, and of sound intellect, and of the age of puberty, and validly married, and having had her marriage consummated: and in a case of charging with adultery, the being a Muslimeh, and free, and of sound intellect, and of the age of puberty, and continent, or chaste.

(TA.) b3: See also 1. b4: Also He (a horse, TA) became a حِصَان, (K,) i. e. a stallion, or fit to cover: (TA voce رَاحَ:) or affected to be so: (Az, TA:) [and so ↓ حَصَّنَ or حُصِّنَ; for] a horse in this case is said to bear evidence of التَّحَصُّن and التَّحْصِين.

[verse 28] of the Kur, is read by all ↓ مُحْصَنَات, (A 'Obeyd, TA,) meaning having husbands; (A 'Obeyd, Mgh, Msb, TA;) because when such women are made captives, their marriage-tie is cut: but in other instances, some read thus, understanding it in the sense last explained; and others read ↓ مُحْصِنَات, as meaning that have become Muslimehs: (A 'Obeyd, TA:) in the Kur iv. 29, it means free women: and in the Kur v. 7, continent, or chaste, women: (Mgh: [in the Msb, it is said to have the latter of these last two meaning in 4:25, and the former of them in 5:5:]) ↓ مُحْصَنَات is the more common in the language of the Arabs. (Fr, TA.) b2: حَصَانٌ also signifies A pearl, or a large pearl; syn. دُرَّةٌ: (K:) because it is protected in the interior of the shell that contains it.

سَمِيرانُ:
بفتح أوّله، وكسر ثانيه، وآخره نون، وبعد الميم ياء مثناة من تحت ثمّ راء مهملة: قلعة حصينة على نهر عظيم جار بين جبال في ولاية تارم، خربها صاحب الموت، رأيتها وبها آثار حسنة تدل على أنّها كانت من أمهات القلاع، قال مسعر بن المهلهل: وصلت إلى قلعة ملك الديلم المعروفة بسميران فرأيت من أبنيتها وعمارتها ما لم أره ولم أشاهده في غيرها من مواطن الملوك، وذلك أن فيها ألفين وثمانمائة ونيفا وخمسين دارا كبارا وصغارا، وكان محمد ابن مسافر صاحبها إذا نظر إلى سلعة حسناء أو عمل محكم سأل عن صانعه فإذا أخبر بمكانه أنفذ إليه من المال ما يرغب مثله فيه وضمن له أضعاف ذلك إذا صار إليه، فإذا حصل عنده منع أن يخرج من القلعة بقية عمره، وكان يأخذ أولاد رعيته فيسلمهم في الصناعات، وكان كثير الدخل قليل الخرج واسع المال ذا كنوز عظيمة، فما زال على ذلك حتى أضمر أولاده مخالفته رحمة منهم لمن عندهم من الناس الذين هم في زيّ الأسارى، فخرج يوما في بعض متصيداته فلمّا عاد أغلقوا باب القلعة دونه وامتنعوا عليه، فاعتصم منهم بقلعة أخرى في بعض أعماله، وأطلقوا من كان عنده من الصناع، وكانوا نحو خمسة آلاف إنسان، فكثر الدعاء لهم بذلك وأدركت ابنه الأوسط الحميّة والأنفة أن ينسبه أبوه إلى العقوق وأنّه رغب في الأموال والذخائر والكنوز فجمع جمعا عظيما من الديلم وخرج إلى أذربيجان فكان من أمره ما كان، وكان فخر الدولة بن ركن الدولة ملك هذه القلعة في سنة 379، وذلك أن ملكها انتهى إلى ولد نوح بن وهسوذان وهو طفل وأمّه المستولية عليه فأرسل إليها فخر الدولة حتى تزوّجها وزوّج ابنها بواحدة من أقاربه وملك القلعة، وكان الصاحب قد أنفذ لحصارها وأخذ صاحبة المسكن عبده أبا عليّ الحسن بن أحمد فتمادى أمره فكتب إليه كتابا في صفة هذه القلعة هذه نسخته أوردته ليعرف قدرها: ورد كتابك بحديث قلعة سميران وأنا أحسب أن أمرها خفيف في نفسك فلهذا أبسط القول وأشرح الخطاب وأبعث الرغبة وأدعو إلى الاجتهاد وأرهف البصيرة وأشحذ العزم، اعلم يا سيدي أن سميران ليست بقلعة وإنما هي مملكة وليست مملكة وإنّما هي ممالك وسأقول بما أعرف:
إن آل كنكر لم يكن قدمهم في الديلم ثابت الأطناب
حتى ملكوا من هذه القلعة ما ملكوا فصار السبب في اقتطاعهم الطرم عن قزوين وهي منها ومختلسة عنها ثمّ سمت بهم هماتهم إلى مواصلة حسنات وهسوذان ملك الديلم وقد ملك أربعين سنة فحين رأى أن سميران أخت قلعة الموت استجاب للوصلة وبهذا التواصل وتلك القلعة ملك آل كنكر باقي الاستانة أجمع فصار لهم ملك شطر الديلم فاحتاج ملوك آل وهسوذان إلى الانتصار على اللائحية، وهم الشطر الثاني بهذه الدولة، شجع المرزبان بن محمد على التلقب بالملك وتوغل بلاد أذربيجان وعنده أن سميران معونة متى ما نبت به الأرض وهذا وهسوذان على ما عرفت خوره وجزعه وكثرة إفساده على الأمير السعيد إنّما كانت تلك القلعة مادّة الباطنية وعيبه المناظرة وباسمها واصل عماد الدولة وتأكّل أبهر وزنجان وأكثر قزوين وجميع سهرورد وبنى القلاع التي خلصت اليوم للدولة القاهرة ثمّ من ملك سميران فقد أضاف إلى ملك الديلم ملك من أعلى أسفيذروذ من الجبل، وليست المزية في ذلك بقليلة ولا المرزئة للأعداء بيسيرة ولا النباهة بخفيفة، فاجتهد يا سيدي وجدّ وبالغ واشتدّ ولا تستكثر بذلا ولا تستعظم جزلا ولا تستسرف ما تخرجه نقدا وتضمنه وعدا، فلو وزنت ألف ألف درهم ثم تملك سميران لكنت الــرابح، وأوردت هذا الفصل بهذا الذكر فلو كتبت فيه أحمالا من البياض لكنت بعد في جانب التقصير والاقتصار، والله خير ميسر، نعم يا سيدي إن أثرك في حسبك عظيم وذكرك فخم وحديثك كالروض باكره القطر وراوحه الصّبا ولكن ليس النجم كالشمس ولا القمر كالصبح ولا سميران كجناشك، ومتى تيسر هذا على يدك فقد حزت جمالا لا يمحى حتى تمحو السماء أثر الكواكب، والله حسبي ونعم الوكيل.
