139 – Ibn Nubātah, ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn ʿUmar ibn Muḥammad al-Tamīmī*—the poet of Iraq, Abū Naṣr ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn ʿUmar ibn Muḥammad (6) ibn Aḥmad ibn Nubātah ibn Ḥumayd al-Tamīmī, al-Saʿdī.
He composed graceful verse, praising kings and grandees—Sayf al-Dawlah (7) and those who came after him—and a celebrated couplet of his runs:
Whoever does not fall by the sword will perish by something else;
The causes are many, but death is one. (8)
