1. Harun pledged allegiance to the leader of guidance
To the one of proof and virtuous character

2. The one who brings together his wealth
And guarantees the burdens of the burdened

3. The scholar of refined knowledge
The just and equitable ruler

4. The pure and pious adherent to the path of guidance
The truthful speaker and doer

5. For the best of Abbas when they are brought together
And the one who prefers excellence to his family

6. Be most dutiful to them and give them
Precedence in customary law when misfortune occurs

7. To the one resembling Mansur in his kingdom
When the darkness of falsehood becomes dense

8. So the light of guidance was completed with al-Ma'mun
And ignorance was uncovered from the ignorant
