    بِدَولَةِ الواثِقِ هارونِ

    The worldly and the devout have indeed prospered

    فَالناسُ في خَفضٍ وَفي لينِ

    And through his deeds he has extended kindness to all,

    So the people live in ease and comfort.

    وَأَكثَرَ التالي بِآمينِ

    How many pray for his long life,

    And how many follow with 'Amen'!
