1. I cast your alliance away, O sons of Tahir,
I cast the brains of the insignificant one in his misery.
١. رُمْتُ نداكم يا بني طاهرٍ
فرمتُ مُخَّ الذَّرِّ في عُسْرَتِهْ
2. I hoped for support from your Solomon,
What al-Mu'tazz hoped for from his support.
٢. أمَّلْتُ منْ رفد سُلَيْمانِكُمْ
ما أمَّلَ المعتزُّ مِنْ نُصْرَتِهْ
