1. I entered Egypt wealthy
My state was not deficient

2. Twenty loads of silk
And the like of fine textiles

3. And a lot of rubies
And transparent gems

4. And I had Turkic Mamluks
From the most hygienic people

5. So I was happy spreading my palm
And being generous with plenty

6. And I started gathering my affairs
With past and future

7. And I still fraternize
And I still socialize

8. And I got customers
Who were the essence of nobility

9. And every day brothers
From the new and the old

10. So I sold all the precious things
I had from the varieties

11. And the sale kept going until
My mattress and blanket were gone

12. I spent all that
In Egypt before my departure

13. And I became poor in it
From my wealth and chastity

14. And this is my exit from it
Hungry, naked, barefoot
