1. Have you passed, O friend, the palace of Bukhari
And seen a people there like spirits?

2. We came to it, and the noble party within
Had arrayed itself there by night, but desire was wakeful.

3. Among them is the zealous judge Abu Tayyiba,
Whose gentleness allures the soul like a breeze.

4. So enjoy a palace and a party whose seal
Is a ring - they welcomed a guest with joys.
