1. I have chosen to praise the son of Yahya son of Khalid
I am content and have not wronged by choosing him

2. He has the habit of extending justice and benevolence
To whoever descended from Qahtan or wore a cloak

3. He went to the eastern pulpit and did not cease
His father sits on a throne and pulpit

4. Yahya al-Barmaki leads and is not seen
Through time as other than a leader or one empowered
