1. Beware my son of the tenth century,
And flee with yourself before the fleers flee.

2. Let not the pleasure that preoccupies you,
Death is more deserving of the unjust tyrant.

3. And reside in the Hejaz lands and stand firm in them,
And be patient with the injustice of the brutal times,

4. And do not incline towards the lands for they
Will be filled with the cutting blades of sharp swords.

5. By youths with smashed noses as if they are
A torrential flood or swarming locusts.

6. Green eyed whom you see humiliated
After they destroyed many a conquering king.

7. Their only purpose is (spilling) blood as if
For them from every groan there is a commanding (force).

8. And ruins of what civilization has built so that
You see wastelands while its buildings (stand) defying the builders.

9. As for Khurasan, its plants will return
To become grass with no protector for its people.

10. And so is Khwarazm and Balkh after it
(They) are sacrificed with no caller in their quarters.

11. And the Daylam mountains and plains
And the face of Rayy will be destroyed after the taking of Nishapur.

12. And blood will be shed in the river of those
From the family of Ahmad, not by the swords of infidels.

13. And the blood shedders will flee from them as
Doves flee from destructive falcons.

14. So it is the Khwarazmian who will break his army
In half a month of Rabi al-Akhir.

15. And he who relied on what he gained
Of kingship will die in an abundant sea.

16. And his family will be humiliated and his son will suffer
Due to the emergence of a star belong to the hyenas.

17. And its emergence will be in half the century
But its fortune is as quick as the glance of an onlooker.

18. And his enemies will rise against him and he will meet
Promises retreating, defeated in a losing deal.

19. And the last of his life will be in Amid
Marching to it while he has no possessions.

20. And the greatness of his armies will return
From him to the hostile, unjust enemy.

21. And the lands of the Bakr will kill some of them
With the sword, between young and old.

22. And you will see the tents of their Bedouins
Erected brazenly by the pagan enemy.

23. His soldiers will perish and his army
Will tear apart in every barren desert.

24. And woe to the Christians from them
In humiliation, between young and old!

25. And woe if they descend on the lands of Rabia
Between its Tigris and Jazira!

26. And they will ravage the lands of Babylon all of it
From Shahrazur to the lands of Samarra.

27. And Khallat will return after splendor
To become ruins with the hooves of different horses.

28. This while Irbil closes its doors to them
For nine (days) and opens on the tenth day.

29. And the abdomens of Nineveh will be taken
And its livestock from the gathered neighbors.

30. And maybe the armies of Mosul will appear
Seeking security from the betraying villains.

31. So you see them camped on the banks of the Tigris
And they marched to a city without any reconciliation.

32. And you will see Tharthar plundered
With blood pouring and violation of protected honor.

33. And the day its flowers are burned
Which rain used to come to it like a roaring sea.

34. And what a pity for the country and its people!
What will happen and who can help it?

35. And maybe youths will appear from
The honorable Sa’sa’a tribes.

36. Watering their horses from Euphrates’ water
Above every thirsty and faded meadow.

37. Aleppo will meet them with an army, if it marched
In the sea, it will darken with the swirling dust.

38. And when the century's limit comes, you will see them
Repel Jalaq and it has soldiers.

39. The victorious king will destroy them like
Thamud were destroyed in time long past.

40. And the son of Imam Muhammad will annihilate them
With his sharp, piercing, cutting sword.

41. And maybe time will keep a group of them
So the supporter king will kill them.

42. And the Turks will destroy the Persians, no
Trace of them will remain, so ruled the Capable King.

43. In the land of Canaan their bodies
Will remain prey for wolves and birds.

44. And the worshipers of the cross will wander upon them
With the sword, with flags and standards.

45. O flood of Baghdad which cannot contain
The hovering corpses and scattered heads!

46. And so the Caliph Ja’far will remain
In a land with no goals for its paths.

47. And so are Iraq’s palaces and prairies
Those regions and glorious buildings.

48. The sword of the century will destroy them. Oh what a
Feast that has ruined the merchants’ money!

49. And the Romans will break them then destroy after them
A year with no one to repair their destruction.

50. His Caliphate will be erased and his memory forgotten
Between the wilderness, the work of the Able Lord.

51. So you see the towering citadels
Declined with no refuge left for a traveler.

52. And you see its villages while its lands have changed
After intimacy to every fleeing beast.
