On the Exalted Stature and Miraculous Merits of the Quran

Let me describe the signs that appeared to him like bonfires
On mountain peaks lit for night travelers by some thoughtful host.

Though a pearl's beauty may multiply if strung with many others,
Its value is not diminished when displayed on its own...

-from the Burda of al-Busiri (the Poem of the Cloak) translated by Shaykh Hamza Yusuf
