وما كان مذ كنا ولا كان قبلنا

ولا هو فيما بعدنا كابن مسلم

Never since we came into being, nor before were we,

Nor shall we be in ages yet to come, like Ibn Muslim.

أهم لأهل الترك قتلا بسيفه

وأكثر فينا مقسما بعد مقسم

Keener still for the Turks to slay with his sword,

And apportioning more of our realm after each portion.
