The splendor of the dome of Aywa reaches the heavens. The seven heavens above are envious of its domes. The stones adorning its staircase are all inscribed with the work of the Almighty. How brilliant its marble is, when you look at it, it dazzles the sight. And its high ceiling, which rises in the darkness of the night. We envy it, the sky's tent adorned with stars. Thousands of lamps flicker at its entrance, inside and out, like a moon emerging. The beautiful engravings of its rooms please the eye, surpassing the engravings of Arzenk. The breeze of the morning blows on the flowers of its garden, and from it, the world is perfumed with musk and ambergris. The flowers of the garden of Aram, with their joyful colors, are envious of the roses, their lilies, and their irises. And their narcissus and their jasmine. Their jasmine is like the perfumed hair of a beautiful woman. And the whiteness of its jasmine resembles the lote tree of the beloved. The petals of its lilies are the color of the face of a beloved whose nature is shy. And its roses are the color of the lips of a sweet-spoken beloved. What harm would it do to its lily if it sang in a voice like the nightingale on its silken carpet? And what harm would it do to the attendee in the gathering of companionship if he substituted its narcissus for a golden cup? As if its trees, with their heads reaching the sky, were offering kindness and moderation. This garden is a piece of the gardens of Paradise, and this towering palace is unparalleled. It is the residence of the state of Prince Yusuf Pasha. Poets are captivated by his good character, and scholars are bewildered by his great intelligence. Stop your words, O (Mahri), and raise your hands to the door of God, praying for him. As the waters of the Nile flow into the seas and lakes, and the pyramids stand tall in Egypt. His name was Ata, a man who was a sorcerer. He made people imagine a moon appearing and disappearing. And this moon was referred to by the king Ibn Sina when he said: "From the magic of the glances of the full moon, the veiled full moon appears to you." And the aforementioned al-Muqanna' claimed divinity, and a large group obeyed him. His reign lasted until the year 600 AH, in the region beyond the river. From the district of Kabsh, and fortified within it. Then people gathered against him and besieged him in the fortress. He then surrendered. He fell into the hands of the enemy.
