1. Shalamghan was the father of kings
But became father of the market's rabble

2. All the sons of his officers are his sons
He is about to become father of the desert sands

3. Abu Yazid's ingratitude separates us
From Sahaba, clear and bright evenings

4. So we spent the night at al-Khasaf
With mosquitoes singing us their songs

5. If the Banu Utrush had attended they would be
The most affectionate and eminent in view

6. A people whose prayers to idols
Are not kept, nor their prophet the son of Baya
