1. O village of this world and village of its people
And the Muslims, the trust of Islam

2. The darkness of polytheism was sought in the land of guidance
Between the inkwells and pens’ tongues

3. This is the son of Yusuf in the hands of his enemies
Repaid over days with days

4. The Abbasids slept away from him though not
The Umayyads, had they kept their sleep
