1. If you were denying treachery, I would have said to you,
O clan of Marwan, your rule flows from me,

2. And I would take a solemn oath by Allah in the presence of witnesses,
Thereby fulfilling the covenants.

3. Neither have I committed any wrong during your rule,
Nor does what preceded me seek vengeance.

4. We are the ones, when you feared a covering darkness,
You said to us, "Through you we seek protection."

5. Until when its thick clouds parted from you,
You became like a dried-up root, no god and no kin.
