1. The wedding songs have returned to lamentation
And congratulations turned into condolences

2. You were shrouded in the night of marriage with its garb
And buried at the break of dawn

3. You were bidden farewell with the tears of a laughing mourner
In every place and drunken clamor

4. Minarets and pulpits roared over you
And angels and mourners wept over you

5. India the goddess and sad Egypt
Cry over you with flowing tears

6. Syria asks and Iraq and Persia
Has the caliphate been erased from the earth?

7. The great gathering came to you in mourning
And sat in it in seats of lamentation

8. O noble free men wrongfully killed
Without crime or sin

9. Indeed those whose war wounded you
Their peace killed you without wounds

10. With their hands they violated the honor of their pride
Adorned with the gifts of the Opener

11. They removed from necks the best necklace
And tore from shoulders the best cloak

12. Suffice that the long nights brought it down
It fell between evening and dawn

13. And a relationship whose ties were severed
It was the strongest of soulmates

14. It gathered people for righteousness and perhaps
It gathered on it the secrets of integrity

15. It organized the ranks of Muslims and guided them
Every Friday morning and evening

16. The prayer wept and the sedition of an insolent transgressor
Rudely interfering in jurisprudence

17. Issued corrupt edicts and said perversions
And brought disbelief to the countries openly

18. Indeed those on whom his jurisprudence flowed
Were created for the jurisprudence of brigades and weapons

19. If they speak they speak with the muteness of cohorts
Or if addressed they hear with the deafness of spears

20. I seek forgiveness for morals, I am no denier
What have I to blame your patron for when I have

21. Often conferred on him the inherited praise
He is a pillar of the kingdom and protector of the state

22. And rebuker of comets and ram of butting
Shall I say the revival of the community is an atheist?

23. And shall I say the restorer of rights is a debaucher?
The truth is more deserving of your reverence

24. And more right to support and struggle
So praise the men of truth and blame them

25. Or rid yourself of the stances of an advisor
And of men, if you rise up for their destruction

26. A tough old man of sturdy shoulders
So if you hurl the truth at their hides

27. It will leave the struggle shaking the planks
Give sincere advice to the warrior, he will gain insight

28. Surely the generous will return after plunging
Arrogance made the leader drink of its spirit

29. How is your cunning in laying the spirits low?
He transferred the laws, beliefs and sanctuaries

30. And people he transferred like brigades in the plain
A nation left him like an awed ghost

31. That no longer worships specters
They gave him free rein like a Caesar among them

32. Until he took all that was unlawful
The obedience of the masses deluded him

33. And the commoners found in it the pleasure of comfort
And if you take glory from Omayyads

34. You will not give anything but its fleeting mirage
Who will tell the Muslims words

35. Inspired by nothing but sincerity and advice?
The era of caliphate, I was the first defender

36. To ward it off from its basin with skill
Love of God's essence has been and still remains

37. And passion for God's essence and reform
I am the lamp, I am not spent

38. Until I become the moth of the lamp
The expeditions of Adam were crowned with splendor

39. And the conquests of Unur were detailed to brilliance
Their swords drew back and their resolve showed

40. While others were preoccupied with inaction
Do not bestow the Prophet's coat on an incapable

41. Dismissed one who defends it with ease
Yesterday he wounded the Muslims with a wound

42. And today he extended to them the hand of a healer
So you will hear in every land a caller

43. Calling to the liar or to prostration
And you will witness in every land a sedition

44. In which religion is sold for a pittance
Fatwas are issued based on al-Muizz's gold and sword

45. And the passions of souls and their relentless hatred
