بني زياد لذكر اللَه مصنعه

بالصخر والحصي لم يخلط من الطين

The Ziyad clan built a structure for praising God

Of rock and pebble without mixing any clay

لولا تعاون أيدي الرافعين له

إذاً ظنناه أعمال الشياطين

Had the builders not cooperated in raising it

We would have thought it the devil's handiwork
