1. Have you not seen that Allah has gifted and honored us
With a shining white leader from Banu Umayyah?

2. The dawn of glory rises gently with his gaze
When asked for kindness, he is never too proud

3. Had it not been for Abu Marwan as a bearer of good tidings
My feet would have been covered in dust far from home

4. Rushing to Abd al-Aziz steadily
Passing through olive trees in Egypt murmuring

5. And I fought for Islam against Bakr ibn Wa'il
As fiercely as Kulayb or Amr or Amqar

6. When Bakr ibn Wa'il leads Islam
That religion has surely changed and become corrupt

7. With what tribulation or what good advice
Do you put stones before me, O son of Abjar?

8. Since I left Uthman calling out
And Marwan panting for water away from the well

9. Oh if only I had gone before them
And my brother Marwan was the last left behind

10. Through them the fragmented community was reunited
And discord healed until it mended

11. Allah has decreed, an honorable caliph from them
Will rule the people and ascend the pulpit
