قُلْ لِلشَّريفِ المُسْتَجا

قُلْ لِلشَّريفِ المُسْتَجا

رِ بهِ إِذا عَدم المَطَرْ

رِ بهِ إِذا عَدم المَطَرْ

Tell the nobleman whose protection

Tell the noble trafficker when rain is scarce,

is sought when rain fails,

And the son of imams from Quraysh and the pure pearls,

وابْنِ الأَئمَّة مِنْ قُرَيْ

وابْنِ الأَئمَّة مِنْ قُرَيْ

شٍ والمَيامين الغُرَرْ

شٍ والمَيامين الغُرَرْ

son of the imams of Quraysh

I swear by the basil and the doubled melody and the single string,

and of the blessed, illustrious ones:

If the noble one passes away without enjoying the sight of Abdeyh,

أَقْسَمْتُ بِالرَّيْحانِ والنْ

أَقْسَمْتُ بِالرَّيْحانِ والنْ

نغَمِ المُضاعَفِ والوَتَرْ

نغَمِ المُضاعَفِ والوَتَرْ

I swear by sweet basil and

We will share with the sons of Umayya in notorious misguidance,

the doubled melody and the string:

And we will say Abu Bakr did not usurp and Umar did no wrong,

لَئِن الشَّريفُ مَضَى ولَمْ

لَئِن الشَّريفُ مَضَى ولَمْ

يُنْعِمْ بَعَبْدَيْهِ النَّظَرْ

يُنْعِمْ بَعَبْدَيْهِ النَّظَرْ

if the nobleman departs and does not

And we will see Muawiya as an imam - whoever opposes him is an infidel,

give his two servants due regard,

And we will say Yazid did not kill Al-Hussein nor did he order it,

لَنُشارِكَنَّ بَني أُمَيْ

لَنُشارِكَنَّ بَني أُمَيْ

يةَ في الضَّلالِ المُشْتَهِرْ

يةَ في الضَّلالِ المُشْتَهِرْ

we shall surely join the sons of Umayya

And we will count Talhah and Zubair among the pure pearls,

in their notorious error,

And the admission of Abdeyh into hellfire will be around the noble one's neck.

ونَقولُ لَمْ يَغْصِبْ أَبو

ونَقولُ لَمْ يَغْصِبْ أَبو

بَكْرٍ ولَمْ يَظْلِمْ عُمَرْ

بَكْرٍ ولَمْ يَظْلِمْ عُمَرْ

and say that Abu Bakr did not usurp,

nor did Umar act unjustly;

ونَرى مُعاويةَ إِما

ونَرى مُعاويةَ إِما

ماً مَنْ يُخالِفُهُ كَفَرْ

ماً مَنْ يُخالِفُهُ كَفَرْ

and deem Muawiya an imam—

whoever opposes him has disbelieved;

ونَقولُ إِنَّ يَزيد ما

ونَقولُ إِنَّ يَزيد ما

قَتَلَ الحُسَيْنَ ولا أَمَرْ

قَتَلَ الحُسَيْنَ ولا أَمَرْ

and say that Yazid did not

kill al-Husayn, nor order it;

ونَعُدُّ طّلْحَةَ والزُّبَيْ

ونَعُدُّ طّلْحَةَ والزُّبَيْ

رَ مِنْ المَيامين الغُرَرْ

رَ مِنْ المَيامين الغُرَرْ

and count Talha and al-Zubayr

among the blessed and illustrious;

ويَكون في عُنُقِ الشَّري

ويَكون في عُنُقِ الشَّري

فِ دُخولُ عَبْدَيْهِ سَقَرْ

فِ دُخولُ عَبْدَيْهِ سَقَرْ

and on the nobleman's neck will rest

the burden of his two servants' entering Saqar.
