"He marched under divine inspiration, For the destruction of temples at Saiyidpur, Which was a home of the infidels, And the native place of accursed fire-worshippers. There they dwelt, day and night, The thread-wearing idolaters. It had always remained a place for idols and idol-worshippers, It had received no injury whatsoever from any quarter. It was a populous place, well-known in the world, This native place of the accursed infidels. Its foundations were laid firmly in stone, It was decorated with designs as if drawn from high heaven. It had doors made of sandal and ûd. It was studded with rings of gold, Its floors were laid with marble, Which shone like mirrors. Ûd was burnt in it like fuel, Candles of camphor in large numbers were lighted in it. It had arches in every corner, And every arch had golden chandeliers hanging in it. There were idols of silver set up inside, Which put to shame the idols of China and Khotãn. Such was this famous ancient temple, It was famous all over the world. By the effort of Ahmad, it was freed from the idols, The hearts of idol-worshippers were shattered with grief. He got mosques constructed, and mimbars placed in them, From where the Law of Muhammad came into force. In place of idols, idol-makers and idol-worshippers, Imãms and callers to prayers and khatîbs were appointed. Ahmad’s good grace rendered such help, That an idol-house became an abode of Allãh."
