1. A master of qualities charms us
A crow among the songstresses

2. Grieved, he made our month tearful
Transcending steadfastness, imposing

3. People do not feel safe from his attacking
Or from his departing or staying

4. He bought the houses from their owners
And demanded people pay the tribute

5. O Muslims, mobilize altogether
Against him or mobilize to stand firm

6. With an amulet from Ukaydir’s amulets
That seizes eyes like drowsiness

7. My praise tempted the benefactors
His concern is to praise benefactresses

8. The face of his oppressed love is his desire
His concern is the clans of Euphrates

9. He drinks wine every day
Even if it is dregs and crumbs
