1. My eyes wept and rightly so they mourn
My wings are clipped, my pillars torn

2. Alas time eats what I've forlorn
For people whose love for me wasn't borne

3. For a band they were my wings to soar
In their acceptance I'd fly and soar

4. But their betrayal my brother swore
At their mention my heart is sore

5. Muawiyah ibn Amr my pillar foremost
Their shade was comfort the most

6. Remembering anguish my heart they roast
My people saddened, gloom they host

7. Grandeur and glory forever they boast
Pride and glory that ever grows

8. They ruled Ma'add in their youth
As elders rule, for glory and truth

9. Amr's mother weeps for her brother
Gentle and kind unlike any other
