1. May Allah show me your head, O Salah
Passed around by tongues and spears

2. And you rose while you were laid in it
Shared between tongues and palms

3. You have extinguished a light for Islam
From which knowledge and righteousness shone

4. So you attacked the friends of Allah wrongfully
And aggression took hold of you

5. And you came with your Lord's wrath, not His praise
Your reputation is free for all

6. So you attacked Ahmad and so a pillar
Of faith collapsed and benevolence ceased

7. Do not rejoice in killing Ibn Zayd
For no success is hoped for his killer

8. He has none but the Creator as his supporter
No strength to prepare nor weaponry

9. Expect destruction for it has come near
And wings have sprouted on ants

10. And ahead of you so prepare for every tribulation
If it befalls you, it says no respite

11. May Allah show me your houses empty
With winds blowing away in its yards

12. You did not leave a resting place for death
Every disaster in it has bitterness

13. You have made notorious your chained weapon
Against those whose weapons are supplication and commencement

14. You killed those fasting while in prostration
Crying out to God, their lamenting

15. They were not with your knowledge people of war
Among them no valiant youth

16. Yes, they struggled against their souls
A struggle like against an enemy until they rested

17. And the gardens were adorned for them and they were wed
To its Paradise and came and went

18. By my life whose locks you have bloodied
The marshes have become stained by it

19. By my life that honored reputation
Free of blemishes and vile greed

20. It is mourned by buildings and wishes
And books of knowledge and eloquent words

21. And it is lamented openly by stories
And authentic narrations

22. And the night mourns it if the people of the world sleep from it
And the dawn mourns it

23. I will mourn it and expend my tears upon it
No shame or sin upon me

24. Oh what great sorrow and grief for it
Destruction has intensified upon good

25. Oh if only your right hand were paralyzed, O Salah
While you are its corruption, not reform

26. You deceived them with nonsense and evil
Advice which is clear misguidance

27. Of no benefit are your fine words
Which you adorn, and your ugly deeds

28. You turned away from the lofty teachings
And death, the slaughterer, has fulfilled them

29. And you defiled the mosques wrongfully
From prohibitions which none may defile

30. Upon the weak you avenge, O disgraced one
And in weakness scandal appears

31. You have come with dishonor, so blame
Upon you is obligated, no license

32. The Lion will be angered, O wretched one
The lion's roar around him is barking

33. I will attain my vengeance upon you with ease
Even if the winds carry you through the air

34.
For God's party, their right upon Him

35. Is assured, nothing can repel it
As if I see the armies surrounding your house

36. And thunder and cries
While you are prey in the hands of death
