فحسنه حسن وهو قليل،
So its beauty is beautiful, and it is rare,
فَحَسَنُهُ so its beauty
This is 'so' plus the noun 'the good/beauty of it', with an attached 'its' pointing back to poetry — 'so its fine part'. It is the subject of the verbless clause that follows. The possessor riding on the end packs 'of it' into the word.
فحسنه حسن وهو قليل،
So its beauty is beautiful, and it is rare,
حَسَنٌ is beautiful
This indefinite noun is the predicate, echoing the same root as the subject for effect: 'its good is good'. The repetition is deliberate emphasis. As an equational sentence, it needs no word for 'is'.
وقد قال الحسن البصري
And Al-Hasan Al-Basri said:
الحَسَنُ Al-Hasan
A proper name carrying 'the' as part of how such names are formed, and it stands in the subject case as the doer of the verb of saying that came just before it. The verb precedes its subject here, a normal Arabic order.
هو الحسن بن أبي الحسن البصري
He is Al-Hasan, son of Abu al-Hasan al-Basri.
الحَسَنُ Al-Hasan
This proper name is the predicate identifying who 'he' is, in the subject form as the named figure. The 'the' is part of how this name is fixed in usage, and it fronts the lineage pairing that follows.
