يا أَيُّها الراكِبُ الغادي لِطِيَّتِهِ

لا تَطلُبِ الخُبزَ بَينَ الكَلبِ وَالحوتِ

O traveler passing by his own will

Seek not bread between dog and whale

دينارُ آلِ سُلَيمانٍ وَدِرهَمُهُم

كَالبابِلِيَّينِ حُفّا بِالعَفاريتِ

The dinars of the house of Solomon, and their dirhams

Like the Babylonians, guarded by genies

لا يوجَدانِ وَلا يُرجى لِقاؤُهُما

كَما سَمِعتَ بِهاروتٍ وَماروتِ

Cannot be found, nor hoped to be met

As you have heard of Harut and Marut
