1. What arouses your interest in a house of affliction
Whose new look has been changed by the cold

2. Its landmarks have been erased by a devastating wind
As if its vestiges were but lines

3. I visited it after its new look changed
By the winds that blow night and day

4. A house of a soft-cheeked graceful woman
A guard of her wraps guards her wraps

5. As if it were a pearl the merchants competed for
Treasured, they profited without losing

6. Tell the Caliph Musa that his attainment
Is abundant, pleasant, with no trace of turmoil

7. Adorned with guidance, clad with praise
Wrapped in dew, dressed in glory

8. Musa who spent good deeds that loot him
Among people, so generosity overflows from his palms

9. I smell the upbringing of resolute forefathers
Keen of scent regarding what they attained

10. People will never believe those who never believed
And Allah gives faith to those who supported and protected

11. People do not break what they tied strongly
And those broken are not mended for long

12. You are the pillar, O Musa, when its
Fires are raging and war igniters are kindling

13. If you get angry, then no human among people
Is safe from a danger like yours

14. No drowsy, no docile, no lion, no young lion
No sleepy, no ferocious with might roaring

15. No angry, no biter, no fighter, no thick
Terrifying people’s hearts, enduring

16. With a wide chest and body, his appearance augmented
Evil-natured, in morals and deeds disdainful

17. Driving off the brave, wide-bellied, predating
When the peers meet, overpowering

18. Bleary-eyed, angry when the peers meet
Able to subdue the peers when they clash

19. Deaf, not hindered by men’s voices
Or chiding, does not refrain from aggression

20. With a flat nose, snub nose, his face like
A plateau of stone, expressionless

21. Owner of a twisted mouth, when battles emerge
He snarls, leaves no survivors

22. With unprecedented courage when warriors
Parley and the heroes clash

23. But you are braver than him when advancing
And older than him when raging

24. In fact, if he met you, from fear of you
The night would lose its darkness and value

25. O best of those whose palms held his reigns
And the best of those he appointed as leaders of Mudar

26. Except the Prophet, Allah’s Messenger, for he
Has merit you pride yourself in boasting
