1. The phantom of dreams we praised you as an imam
You cured illness and you also caused maladies

2. For Allah’s sake, an ignorant shepherd who wronged us
If only he could prevent dreams for us in sleep

3. We spent the night sleepless while the night guarded us
Until dawn rose high and fell asleep

4. I said at dawn while still not happy
How lovely this night would have been had it lasted

5. Blaming the one I passionately love, I reconciled with him
I tied the rope of frivolity with the rope of passion when he blamed me

6. I have secret loves that still
Recall the past and do not gather sins

7. If not for Yazid and days of the past
Al-Walid would have lived with the misguided for years

8. The Caliph asked for a sword from the Bani Matar
To go forth and pierce through bodies and skulls

9. Like fate it does not bend for anyone it intends
It made people submit to favors and coercion

10. It protected the Caliphate and Islam so it refused
Like a lion protecting its cubs and uniting them

11. Honor it and its forefathers who preceded it
They left behind days and days of glory

12. You see the chiefs gathered around his room
Seeking the most splendid smile of the generous

13. He says no and yes to both their praises
Both mean the same to him when he intends to do something

14. A victory at Harun's hands that he sends
Against his enemies whether they rebel or submit

15. The best of creation are the forefathers when remembered
And the most dignified people are the uncles and paternal uncles

16. Money and enemies complained of his hand
He still sheds darkness on money and enemies

17. Matar's ambitions that ruined Al-Walid
Yazid's courage intensifies his bravery

18. A firm male whose fame a male fame pursues
In his palm a male fame with which he pierces the mind

19. Deaths pass as his tongue passes
As if his saddle carries a full moon and darkness

20. His sword quenched the thirst of the questioning as it did
Quench the thirst of spilt blood, a spear and a sword

21. Yazid by his nature cannot refrain
From fate and kindness no matter what

22. Horses that time always drives
Into the depths of death on the day of battle

23. When a King surfaces, curtains are lifted
Light and darkness dress witnesses

24. I swear you did not sleep from conquering Kings
The Caliph did not stop granting you favors

25. You recalled the sword of Allah's Messenger and his Sunnah
And the might of the first who prayed and fasted

26. If people thank your good deeds
You have provided the children of Eve with much favor

27. You severed ties of kinship for Allah as you did join ties of kinship
Ties of kinships and more ties of kinships

28. When the Caliphate was counted, you were its
Glory, and the Abbasids were rulers

29. No dignitary whom Kings submitted to
Except sees you with veneration and prestige

30. Whoever hopes from you, attains with hopes
Wisdom, knowledge, goodness and Islam

31. How many cities where you arrived
And the traveling company found no guide

32. When they face a problem, salvaging them
Is reciting your praise fluently and with melody

33. If its bird understood speech
It would sing your praises there making its mind busy

34. If the Sham armies did not obey you willingly
You would ignite in it the flames of death

35. And a battle where the kingdom remained joyous
While the envious died in it by force

36. You returned in it an oppressed right to Islam
Allah made it even between the deceitful and protector

37. If you were not humans, O Bani Shayban
You would be pillars of heights and flags
