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
