عُنصُرٌ واحِدٌ وَما القارَ في هي

تَ لَعَمري كَالمِسكِ في خِرخازِ

One element, and the jar does not contain it

You are to me like musk in a leather bag

كُن مِن الرومِ أَو مِنَ التُركِ أَو

سابِحٍ أَو فارِسٍ أَو الإيخاز

Be you from Rome or from Turkey or

A swimmer or Persian or a Khazari

صورَةٌ خَبَّرَت بِأَنَّكَ مَجبو

لٌ عَلى الشَرِّ وَالمُهَيمَنِ خازِ

An image informed me that you took by force

Protection for me from evil and defeat

وَاِختِلافٌ مِن مَنصِبٍ وَبِلادٍ

وَاِتِّفاقٌ عَلى رِضا بِالمَخازي

Differences in rank and homelands

And agreement on being pleased with trophies
