Ibn al-Sa'ati the exquisite poet, Baha' al-Din Ali b. Muhammad b. Rustam; Ibn Khallikan gives him a two-volume diwan of utter mastery and a slighter one, Maqta'at al-Nil — his 'dew in the twig-thread like moist pearls the breeze shakes down; the birds recite, the pond is a page, the wind writes and longing dots' — his son told Ibn al-Imad at Cairo that his father died Thursday 23 Ramadan 604, buried at the Muqattam's foot aged fifty-one years, six months and twelve days ¹.
