1. He matched the caliphs in judgements, powerful,
Among the people, just while he is trusted,

2. Indeed the length of Tulun's mosque has lasted with that or
Forgotten with it when Tulun arose for beauty,

3. Where are the sights from those lanterns when
Those are for the religion while the racecourses are for vanity,

4. I accessed them so they became shells of gems
While their likes before were glass beads,

5. So look at me with an eye from you that sings
For I have with me neither ignorant nor twisted ones.
