Arabian Poetry: Shorter Pieces of Arabian Poetry: On the Death of Nedham Almolk, by Shebal Addaulet
Arabian Poetry, by W. A. Clouston, [1881]
Too long its beams of orient light
Upon a thankless world were shed:
Allah has now revenged the slight,
And called it to its native bed.
142:* Nedham, in Arabic, signifies a string of pearls.
