1. O you who serves the king faithfully, are you listening
To a call sounding your praises from Umayyah's youth

2. Seeking your protection - look who comes to you and who they are
As the sun's heat makes his neck perspire

3. With your sweat - and wombs are honored and respected
Should I be cast aside in the wilds and pass by

4. All I fear of humiliation and wounding of pride?
And he who milks wealth's udder with begging

5. For glory I strive when blood is milked
So have you thanks that speak to one in oath

6. Of the distaste in his words' allure, ominous and bleak
And were it not for fame's height, wealth would not be sought

7. While you know best what keeps your name alive
