1. You thought power and control were yours,
Yet you knew not what destiny would unfold.

2. Vainglory deluded reckless souls,
None can stop what Allah has foretold.

3. What you assumed slipped through your grasp,
It flew away, thanks be to Allah it holds.

4. You sought to harm those your King does not,
No harm can come to those the Lord enfolds.

5. You raised your heads high, now bow them low,
Brought down by mighty hands your pride it smolds.

6. Going forward curb your greed,
The past warns of what such wantonness breeds.
