1. Glorious Aleppo rose high in the land,
Above all other cities in its quarters,

2. With the arrival of the noble ones among its people,
And the generous, righteous among its virtuous.

3. The young man of generosity from its court,
Makes the generous seem small in his feat.

4. Yes, the record of the house of this era solved it,
Like the place of pardon for its burdens.

5. Every sin we committed before it,
It pictured therein among its excuses.

6. It cannot be counted, some of his traits,
Our poetry, even a tenth of its tenth.

7. And it cannot be contained in its history,
The praise of the glorious, the record of its house.
