1. O son of caliphs and son of all the blessed
The pillar of pillars, the foremost of branches

2. Verily the Al-Ulajj have clapped against your cousin
And come to you against him with the greatest of lies

3. They have defamed him with you as an oppressor
While they started with him the greatest of aggressions

4. They have reviled his honor which refined
While their own honor is most deserving of abasement

5. And they attributed to him degraded bodies
While the Mother of the Two Arms and the Two Branches was created

6. To extend the robe not to violate
The honor of the noble nor to extend the bridle

7. They did not respect his kinship to you and thus refrain
Since they did not fear the sanctity of the Sultan

8. Would you humiliate an oppressed man whose grandfather was yours
So that thereby the Al-`Ulajj would be honored

9. And the wretched of Karbala would gain his country
The humiliation of the cousin of the Caliph of the Merciful

10. I seek refuge for you from that with which
The Al-Ulajj tyrannize over Adnan
