1. Your servant, the sun of the hoped state
Awaits your noble arrival

2. So reprimand Salah al-Din about my condition
May he reform it and repent

3. Introduce to him what has happened, for I see
By his excellence, the excellent may get angry

4. And how can he be pleased with some pleasure
While his glory refuses all refusal

5. And tell him a worn out turban has come to him
Left behind by one who fled in war

6. A turban that was soft and inherited
I did not spread it but it flew away
