Al-Uqud al-DurriyyaIbn Abd al-Hadi

Their faces shine like the break of dawn before the onlookers, as though they were full moons.
They will be gladdened by a sacred vision of their Lord—exalted is He, the All-Compelling.
They will have the age of Jesus, the beauty of Joseph, and the stature of Adam; every one of them is righteous.
Next, blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad, the elect and chosen Messenger,
the guide of all creation, their leader and intercessor—his helpers are the angels and the Ansar.
May Allah bless him for as long as the earth quivers with joy when the rains descend.

This marks the poem’s end(1); it comprises forty-one lines(2).

He also composed—may Allah pardon them both and lodge them in His Garden(3):

Patience has grown scarce, and separation(4) has shot its arrows at me; my sorrows have followed one upon another.
I have become downcast at the loss of dear ones whose very nature was molded upon beneficence.
I cannot bear to be without them—how could I endure when the nobles have departed from(5) the homeland?
The dwellings stand empty; they have become a barren waste. Alas for the sundering of the brethren(6)!"}

(1) MSS K and T read “tammat” (it is complete). (2) The words “akhiraha … baytan” (“its last … verses”) are not found in MS F. (3) The phrase “walahu … jannatuhu” is absent from MSS F and K; instead F, K, and T have: “marthiya li-l-shaykh Qasim ibn Abd al-Rahman al-Muqri concerning al-Shaykh Taqi al-Din, may Allah have mercy on him.” (4) MSS F, K, and T read “al-zaman” (time). (5) MS F reads “ʿan” (from). (6) A marginal note in the base manuscript states that this line of verse should precede the one before it, contrary to the order in F, K, and T.
ووجُوهُهُم مِثْلُ الصَّبَاحِ إذا بدا ... لِلنَّاظِرينَ، كأنَّهُمْ أقْمَارُ ويُمتَّعُونَ بِنَظْرَةٍ قُدْسِيَّةٍ ... مِنْ ربِّهِمْ، سُبْحَانَهُ الجَبَّارُ في عُمْرِ عِيسَى، والجَمَالُ كَيُوسُفٍ ... وَبِطُولِ آدَمَ، كُلُّهُم أبْرارُ ثُمَّ الصَّلاةُ على النَّبِيِّ مُحَمَّدٍ ... فَهُوَ الرَّسُولُ المُصْطَفَى المُخْتَارُ هَادِي الوَرَى وإمَامُهم وشفِيعُهُم ... أنْصَارُهُ الأمْلاكُ والأنْصَارُ صلَّى عليه اللهُ ما اهتزَّ الثَّرى ... فرحًا، إذا ما جاءتِ الأمطارُ آخرها (١)، وهي أحدٌ وأربعون بيتًا (٢). * * * * وله ــ أيضًا ــ عفا الله عنهما وأسكنهما جنَّته (٣): عزَّ التَصَبُّرُ، والفِرَاقُ (٤) رَمَاني ... بِسِهَامِهِ وترادفَت أحزْانِي أصْبَحْتُ مُكْتَئِبًا لِفَقْدِ أَحِبَّةٍ ... جُبِلَت جِبِلَّتُهُمْ على الإِحْسَان لا صَبْرَ لِي عَنْهُم، وكَيْفَ تَصَبُّرِي ... عَنْ سَادِةٍ رَحَلُوا مِنَ (٥) الأوطان خَلَتِ الدِّيَارُ، فأصْبَحُوا في بَلْقَعٍ ... يَا وَحْشَتَاهُ لِفُرقَةِ الإِخْوَانِ (٦)
(١) (ك، ط): «تمت». (٢) «آخرها ... بيتا» ليست في (ف). (٣) «وله ... جنته» ليس في (ف، ك)، وفي (ف، ك، ط): «مرثاة للشيخ قاسم بن عبدالرحمن المقري في الشيخ تقي الدين ﵁». (٤) (ف، ك، ط): «الزمان». (٥) (ف): «عن». (٦) أشار في هامش الأصل أنَّ هذا البيت مقدمٌ على الذي قبله. بخلاف (ف، ك، ط).
