1. How splendid a seat of rule, whose meanings delight!

    Muhammad, son of Abu al-Hajjaj, is its builder—

  2. renewer of the realm, sword of Truth and its champion,

    guardian of the faith in its farthest and nearest reaches.

  3. His namesake laid out this palace, initiating its construction,

    and was its first dweller, abiding in its halls.

  4. If he came first in personal name and in his father’s name,

    and in length of life and good fortune, then this king is his second.
