1. The son of Dawood had a pigeon
That he pampered in his gatherings

2. It served him for years
With truthfulness and rectitude

3. One day it went to his workers
To deliver his greetings

4. With letters under its wings
Written with honor for it

5. The foolish one wanted to
Know the contents of his letters

6. It went to the first one which
Was to his Caliph with prestige

7. It saw him commanding his minister
To make a crown for the pigeon

8. And say: Serve it well
Whether settled or traveling

9. And he indicated in the second
To give it meadows in Tihama

10. And it came to the third without
Shame to break its seal

11. It saw him commanding
To give it leadership over the birds

12. It cried in regret for that
Alas, regret is futile

13. And it came to the Prophet of God
Saying: O Lord of Safety

14. It said: I lost the letters, my Master
In the land of Yamama

15. Due to my haste when
The falcon pushed me forward

16. He replied: But you came to what
Almost brought about doom

17. But your punishment is enough
Who betrays, his prestige is lost
