1. The minister, may God prolong his rule,
His deeds circulate among the people.

2. Since he purified the land from the blasphemy of the Druze and from
The evil of rebels whose time has come.

3. And he brought us Ibn Maan after the deaf rocks
Had isolated him while he was secluded.

4. The white fortresses were of no use to him when
The black calamities attacked him, both today and forever.

5. Neither the shields, nor the bullets, nor
The horses, nor the worn out weapons,

6. Nor those among the Arabs whose rewards
Would come to them, nor the writers and messengers.

7. His children around him worried,
And the women grieved over what had befallen him.

8. And the Druze were scattered in their countries
As if they had killed before they actually killed.

9. How often did he stay up at night pondering
His star, only to find it was Saturn.

10. Whoever fate seeks cannot be saved
By sea, plains or mountains.

11. These are the consequences for those who transgress and whose
Trade among their people is deceit and trickery.
