1. The tribe of Juthaymah, there is no wonder in this matter
Destiny has taken its course according to the cause

2. Khalid gave you shade, nothing rouses him
Except jihad which he sees as the greatest kinship

3. When he called you to Islam at his call
You said we have quenched our thirst, he did no wrong nor loved

4. If a man has lineage from his paternal uncles
Then with his own people, religion is the closest lineage

5. The tribe of Sulaym, even if you fear them, there is no harm in them
Nor in Ibn ‘Awf, besides delusions and suspicion

6. Oh what a darkening cloud whose side did not blacken
Until it rolled swiftly away from gushing blood

7. The Prophet arrived there with it so self blames
And the heart for what has befallen the people is weary

8. The Muslims are blood for God or a pact
The like of which there is no other flowing blood or pact

9. In events whether few or many they are
Ferocious company with opinion not divided

10. Each bloodshed unlawful to bloodshed so if a faction
Rebels against a faction, Allah in is the seeker of retaliation

11. Khalid aroused it, storms raging
In it there was no sanctity for the religion of Allah

12. He opened fire on it and suspicions take him
From every direction but he did not find guidance nor hit his mark

13. I declare my innocence before my Lord of his crime
And You know best about what he distracted me from him

14. Arise O Ali to face the people apologetically
And heal their souls of rage

15. Spread over them the wing of the compassionate curved one
Take from the money what will pay the blood monies and what

16. Will satisfy the souls and heal them from anger
It is our duty, the blood of the slain, and we are under

17. A firm pact and unsevered bond
The people are our brothers in God, united by us

18. The religion of brotherhood across eras and times
The Imam restored the souls of the people so they reconciled

19. Affection strengthened and the ties of discord dissolved
With pre Islamic ignorance, the side which it stirred up

20. There is no escape from anxiety and agony
Ask it, as it returns disappointed and blamed
