1. They inform you falsely about the Lord Most High
And no human knows the affairs of Allah

2. And for defeating the evildoers are lions
And for the beasts by Allah's command are dens

3. So make me speak, I will clarify your problems
Or is there among you no eloquent one for the people of truth?

4. Can you hear me? For I am an Arab horseman
Skilled in horsemanship, since for war there are horsemen

5. There was not in this world a brother of righteousness
Nor will there be, nor in time, any goodness

6. Rather kingship is attained by another
As the rule of Banu Nasr and Ghassan was attained

7. Misfortunes befell them, calamities not made known
As if Hassan grieved over the people afterwards

8. Banu Umayya ruled the two Shams
While the Hashimites deserted them for Khurasan

9. And I do not feel assured that your imam
Would be from the lowly Zanj or his nursemaid is Maysan

10. And the view is that the lionesses should be sent forth as one
To Damascus, for miserable is the land of lowness
