1. Blessed art thou, O house of Salman, that was raised up
With foundations for nobles laid down, and consecrated

2. Filled with chiefs of Quraysh, noble and highborn
The ruddy Mudar waxed proud with them dwelling inside

3. Like full moons when they rise and shine bright
Or stallions neighing loudly when the herd stamps and snorts

4. With the fair-faced in all their joy at every window
Of kindness and benevolence its chambers are richly decked

5. Roam it with your eyes and behold in it a moon
For it amazes all eyes that on it have gazed

6. And say it was built and inhabited by Salman
Date the house of glory, for it has been restored
