1. You were a sky, and your steeds clouds
Your towers were castles, your army stars

2. And you rained down from them Koshyar, though
You were but hunting a hyena from above the galaxy

3. I knew you as the hunter of lions, though I was not
I knew you as the hunter of lions from the sky

4. I served you, O Buwayhid family, for a time
Tomorrow between them the fledglings of the mediators will flutter
