They said: royal Furuq is an abode of terrors.
They said the palace of power is a house of fears
Its lodger's anxious misgivings never cease.
Its worries never end for those who live there

And their dogs are safe—so marvel at that!
And their dogs live in safety, how strange it is
The dogs felt safe there, while the people were afraid.
The dogs feel safe while the people live in fear
