1. The palace of honorable men from Baghdad
No, the palace with balconies from Saddad

2. And the crown above the gardens as if it were
A maiden adorned with the most fragrant perfume

3. The wind plays with the branches and bends them
As if it has an appointment with them

4. And as if the Tigris River, its course was in its chest
And the Master, our Lord Al-Hadi

5. Al-Nasir al-Mansour, the best Caliph
Does not ride in war an untamed steed

6. May Allah bless him as long as leaves rustled
On branches garlanded on banquet tables

7. And as long as the flashes of smiling faces gleamed
Which were unveiled by the eyelids of visitors

8. From a pearl like the sun, its rain has risen
Appearing with the most luminous radiance
