• 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،
