أهّل البكّوش ديناً للموطّأ

فَلهُ ما ضَمِنَت دام الموطّا

Al-Bakkūsh made religion at home in al-Muwaṭṭaʾ.

To God belongs what it has been made to contain; may al-Muwaṭṭaʾ endure.

يا لَها مِن نسخةٍ فازَ بها

حَسُنَت شكلاً وَتَذهيباً وخطّا

Oh, what a manuscript copy he was fortunate to obtain!

Beautiful in vocalization, gilding, and calligraphy.

يَصدقُ المنشدُ في تأريخها

أهّلَ البكّوشُ ديناً للموطّا

The reciter speaks truly in giving its date:

“Al-Bakkūsh made religion at home in al-Muwaṭṭaʾ.”
