Ziyad built his edifice for the remembrance of God,
The Ziyad clan built a structure for praising God
With stone and pebbles, mixing in no clay.
Of rock and pebble without mixing any clay

Had the hands of those raising it not worked together,
Had the builders not cooperated in raising it
Then we would have thought it the work of devils.
We would have thought it the devil's handiwork
