Among his other verses are:

[from al-Kāmil metre]
If, after two acts of obedience, my eyelids
relax their scrutiny, how careless they have been!
Or, should I, once the loved ones are gone, behold
some mortal beauty—how could I let them fade from mind?
Time itself would earn pardon for its slips
were it to bring my homeland back to what it was.

Abu ʿAli al-Hasan (1) ibn ʿAli ibn al-Hasan ibn ʿAli ibn al-Hasan ibn ʿAli ibn ʿAmmar ibn Fihr (2) ibn Waqaḥ, al-Yāsarī—so called for his descent from ʿAmmār ibn Yāsir—was a virtuous Baghdadi shaykh. He authored works on Qurʾanic exegesis and on the laws of inheritance, composed sermons, letters, and pleasing poetry, and his testimony was accepted by the judges.

Abu Bakr Muḥammad ibn Yūsuf ibn al-Ṭabbākh al-Wāsiṭī al-Baghdādī, the Ṣūfī, held several administrative posts in Baghdad. Of the poetry he recited is:

[from the munṣariḥ metre]
No gift that Allah grants a man
surpasses his intellect and his courtesy.
They are a youth’s true beauty; but if he lose them,
then better for him to bid life farewell.

Ibn Yunus (3), the commentator on Al-Tanbīh: Abu al-Faḍl Aḥmad, son of the shaykh, the scholar Kamāl al-Dīn Abu al-Fath Mūsā ibn Yunus ibn Muḥammad ibn Manʿa ibn Mālik ibn Muḥammad ibn Saʿd ibn Saʿīd ibn ʿĀṣim ibn ʿĀbid ibn Kaʿb ibn Qays ibn Ibrāhīm—originally from Irbil and later from Mosul—belonged to a household of learning and authority. He studied various disciplines under his father, excelled, and gained distinction. He lectured on and commented upon Al-Tanbīh, and he produced two abridgements, one short and one long, of al-Ghazālī’s Iḥyāʾ ʿUlūm al-Dīn, from which he used to teach.

Ibn Khallikān (4) said: “After my father’s death in 610 AH he was appointed in Irbil to the madrasa of al-Malik al-Muẓaffar. I attended his lessons when I was a child, and I never saw anyone teach as he did. He returned to his hometown in 617, and died on Monday, the twenty-fourth of Rabīʿ al-Ākhir of this year at the age of forty-seven. May Allah have mercy on him.”
