1. شَكَرنا الخَليفَةَ إِجرائَهُ

    عَلى اِبنِ أَبي خالِدٍ نُزلَهُ

    We thanked the caliph for granting

    Ibn Abi Khalid his provision.

  2. فَكَفَّ أَذاهُ عَنِ المُسلِمينَ

    وَصَيَّرَ في بَيتِهِ أَكلَهُ

    Thus he kept his harm from the Muslims

    and confined his eating to his own house.

  3. وَقَد كانَ يَقسِمُ أَشغالَهُ

    فَصَيَّرَ في نَفسِهِ شُغلَه

    He had been dividing up his tasks,

    so he made himself his sole concern.
